6.5 Grendel Performance
Posted on 8/9/16 at 9:02 am
Posted on 8/9/16 at 9:02 am
Anyone have experience with this cartridge? Looking to build a long range ar that can touch 800 m without getting the ar-10. I've heard that 6.5 Grendel outperforms 7.62X51 at 1000 yds and really I want to know can anyone attest to this idea.

I have heard the same, actually purchased a lower to build a 6.5 grendel but havent gotten around to it yet.
Probably going to wind up selling the lower and buying a new putter!

Good idea, IMO it would be cooler to hit someone with a golf ball from 800 m than a 6.5 Grendel.

The Grendel will probably outperform the .308 at 1000 as far as bullet drop goes but will have less stopping power. If you're just target shooting I'd get the 6.5.
I don't quote me on that shite though. Most of my knowledge comes from YouTube.

Where are you shooting out to 800m or 1000 yds?

Yeah we need to find this place so you can take me to shot your M1A

would be a hell of a putt!
I've got a .308 for long range already anyway

Got a range in AZ where I can punch out to 600 yds, but I could probably find some BLM land to go out to 1000. You find his secret range and I'll bring the M1A

Its far far away from where any of those shite heads are. Don't worry. About the only thing we have to worry about is escaped prisoners and they have wolf-german shepherd hybrids for that.

I have a 6.5 Grendel in an AR platform but it's rocking open sights. Got it to get rid of some hogs. I'd like to see what it can do at longer ranges but I have no need for it. It's fun to shoot though and you can buy wolf ammo to just play around with for about $5 a box. I also have a 6.5 creedmore in a bolt action rifle with a trijicon 2.5-10x56 accupoint that is awesome for deer hunting. It's my favorite rifle for sure. I love the 6.5's and don't plan to ever get rid of them. If you have a scope already to shoot that far, and you're around Baton Rouge, we can meet up and you can put your scope on it and see how you like it before dropping the money on a new gun that might not do what you want it to.

Moving 800m targets?

Grendel will not disappoint...

I'll be building one soon as a multipurpose build.
Hopefully long range shooting, and less than 150 yard deer hunting.
From the ballistic charts I've read Hornady's 123gr A-Max round still carries +1500 ft/lbs of energy to 100 yards (1300 to 200).
