Regarding 321GNR loads for a G2 Carbine setup got my attention. My setup is a Reeder 16.25" G2 blued barrel/blued receiver with a 2x7 Burris Fullview.

Have worked through four 125gr bullet types with A1680, Sierra Spitzer is the most accurate with 1 hole/3-shot groups @ 50yds. Next is the Nosler, nice tight cloverleaf. Hornady HP is real close to the Nosler. The FP is for plinking. Lost pics of targets during recent move to FL.

Pic-L to R: Nosler AccuBond; Hornady HP; Sierra Spitzer; Sierra FP/HP.

Four 321GNRs on left with the two Raptors: 150gr Nosler on left; 150gr Sierra Spitzer on right. Both do 1-hole/3-shots at 50 yards. Sorry, bit out of focus.

Believe this will be a most useful round for my stomping grounds. So many great bullets available for this caliber too.

Agreed, very versatile. Especially if one can

16.25" bbl, 2x7 Leupold. The stippling was an experiment that I won't repeat. Used an old electric soldering iron and rounded off the sharp edges with a butane torch on low heat. Firm grip in wet weather, a couple friends liked the feel, but it's a great way to nearly ruin a nice smooth nylon stock/forearm set.

Mine is 19" with the Muzzle Brake...

I'll be working up loads and chronographing soon I hope.

I also have a 327 Federal Carbine that's 22". It will be regulated to the GT 115 grain HP Bullets.

The 321 GNR will be a jacketed bullet only gun. Hopeful the 110 grn V-Max will be accurate. Will certainly be my first efforr.
