I absolutely love my 6.5 Grendel


Same. It's a great caliber.

Really is...

Pushing 120gr .260 bullet around 2400-2500 fps. Accurate and very low recoil.

Only wish I knew how to make a Barnes tsx shoot accurately in it. I load with Nosler ballistic tips in 120gr. They are not moving so fast that they grenade. Just a nice mushroom and pass through.

Seating depth at 025 increments starting at 050 off lands. Half grain of powder under book max. If every group is unacceptable, change bullet weights.
