Glad to see that the project is for sure a go. Looking forward to seeing what chamberings are available besides the obvious .223. And if anyone is reading and cares about my input, I'd prefer a Grendel to an SPC. Even better would be a 6mm or .22 Grendel rather than the 6.5; although I do understand the likelihood of chambering for a non-standard round being practically nil... unless Barrett wants to get with Hornady and popularize another necked-down version of a fairly recently popular cartridge, similar to the Creedmoor. And if I'm dreaming, the ultimate micro-action hunting rifle for my purposes(6mm legal minimum) and in my opinion, would be a Dasher of either the 6mm or 6.5mm variety.

Barrett should adopt/push both the 224 and 243 Grendels..in 7" each.
Hint...............

A 1-7" Ackley would get my attention............in the meantime, I've got a NIB Montana (moss green) 223 coming. 1-9" Twist will work more than adequate for coyote calling.........afterall, I'm shooting 40-55gr bullets anyway.

A 223 AI with 1-7 would be outstanding.

Hint............... That would result in a lot of publicity for Barret and their rifle(s). ... And if anyone is reading and cares about my input, I'd prefer a Grendel to an SPC. Ditto, Jerry

I think I would rather have a .224 Creedmoor but a .243 Grendel wouldn't hurt my feelings in the Fieldcraft.

Chris Barrett replied to one of my IG posts and said 223 and 280AI are on the way.

A properly twisted 280AI would be the shiznitz.

He's nitpicking the units you stated for the twist.
