Thread: Grendel

Actually I think I might have come across a video of his on youtube. It is an interesting round out of an AR.

Out of an AR with limited magazine lenght it would be nice. Out of an ordinary bolt gun I can see no reason why not go 6,5x47 or 6,4 Creedmoor. If you want moderate velocity with 32gr powder, but 32gr powder in the bigger case and get the same velocity. My action was a 6PPC so unable to use a longer cartridge than 6,5 Grendel.

Very happy with my Grendel, but cannot see a reason to power-handicap oneself unless magazine lenght dictates this cartridge.

My data:
Barrel Lilja 20"
Bullet 123gr Amax
V0 775 msec/ 2540 fps
Powder CFE223 30+ grains

Accuracy so far has been "disturbing".
