    Great to have you Pete. Loads to be learned here that's for real. Getting out there is the most important part. if you're managing to do that and spend time with your son then you've succeeded...

    Welcome, better late than not at all. I was the same when a young fella, nobody hunted in my family either. Plenty to learn from the members on the forum.

    That's great! Its a wonderful thing to have sympathy for your quarry. Never be ashamed to shed a tear or have an emotional lump in your throat about things you respect or love.

    My Grendel has a real tight chamber. Factory 123gn SSTs are seated into the rifling. I've seated my hand loads back more (0.25mm from the lands) and am now using 30.5gn CFE223. 27.5gn CFE was...

    I run a very similar cartridge in that its a 6.5mm and holds around the same powder charges. Mine has 24 inch barrel. I get slightly more velocity (150fps) than you with 27.5gns 8208, its my most...

    The sweet spot it seems, with the Grendel and this powder is in the 28-28.5gr with 123gr Hornady's. I'm at 28.2 with Lapua brass and a 17" barrel for an average of 2422fps. I use a CCI BR4 primer.

    Sorry don't have it listed in my load book. This length works best in my mag too. There are a few different specs for the Grendel chamber, mine will be different to yours.

    Do some of both in the one batch and let us know the outcome.... I am working on a similar question myself... so your effort and results may be of benefit to me..

    First of all find the best load at the length you are using now and then try varying the OAL and see if there is any improvement. I run the same bullet powder combo in my Grendel (Sako) at 2.297"...

    I can't see the point decreasing jump in a factory load. Your going to pull the bullet out a little then re-size? You should really size the neck again if your going to do that. I wouldn't want to...
