Actually, the bolt lugs will be less stressed with the manual load, in semi-auto the chamber is still under pressure when the lugs turn, in this setup the pressure on the lugs is 0 during unlocking.
Normally in semi mode by the time the bullet has reached the gas port and starts to unlock the pressure is already dropping, not worst than shooting in a 26" barrel.
Can one expect to be able to purchase a full build 6.5 Grendel one of these by end of month?

awesome builds folks.....
can't wait for the large frame model to be ready..... just itchin to build !!!
Yes, I want one in 308 !!!
The receiver can be accurate with the appropriate barrel. I had a good group going with this .277 at 200 yards until I pulled the second to last one.

My own humble contribution. I think the receiver set deserves much more than the bargain basement parts I have mounted to it, but I’ll upgrade as time/money allows.
I definitely need to get used to loading. I’m guilty of prematurely releasing the bolt forward, repeatedly half-catching the next snap-cap.
