Thread: 6.5 Grendel,, any users out there.

I have just started loading for mine. 16" AR. Initially I haven't got the velocity I had hoped for, compared to what others have reported, but it is early days yet. I am using a Lapua case full of CFE223, a 123gr SST loaded to mag length, lit with a CCI 450. At 32gr I was getting 2415fps. Should theoretically be up around 2480-2500, but that was the last bit of cfe I had, will need to work up again when I get another batch. Still beats .223 pretty convincingly on paper from the platform.
