6.5 grendel load

[Kamikaze007]

I've got a 20" Faxon match-series barrel, and have had great success with 100, 120, and 123gr bullets, all with 8208xbr. I've tried H335 and CFE223, but haven't matched the results with 8208.


For hunting I have been shooting 120gr Nosler BT Hunters with 8208, and it's done a fine job on pigs.

What velocities are you getting with this load?

I'm loading those in the 26.0-26.5gr range, using 8208xbr, and am just breaking 2400 fps. SDs are all under 20 FPS in that range.

That’s a bummer I was hoping to hear a little faster. Mostly just going to be using the Grendel for targets 100-800 yards further if I can. Hornady advertises 2590 on their box yet doesn’t give load data for anything order 2500 pretty bummed about it. As these shoot quite well in my gun. Oh well I try the 8202 when I load and see what I can get.
