    123 grain match kings. Over 26 grains tac powder. Can't wait to try them out for group.

    The more I looked into the numbers, the more I realized that this is a great cartridge! I've always admired the BCs of the 6.5mm bullets.

    I was thinking of getting an AR-10, but I am considering an AR-15 in the 6.5mm Grendel now.

    The 6.5 Grendel, is it right for you?

    What is the peanut gallery's thoughts on high(ish) BC bullets with the lowest minimum expansion velocity?
    My max range for ethical shots on deer would most likely not exceed 300 yards, but I will take shots at hogs way further out.

    The Nosler LRAB looked pretty good with a G1 BC of .56 and a minimum expansion velocity of 1300fps, but they seem to be discontinued.

    So this is the 3 shot group from my load. Going to try and push it faster next load.
    I am mostly happy with this it's a hunting gun not a match gun.

    If anyone has a 6.5G load that mimics the Hornady factory AMAX or SST load I would love to have it. I was shooting my reloads this weekend with the 123 Nosler CC bullet and 8208XBR powder - the groups were ok (1 inch at 100 yards) but hoping for better.
