6.5 Grendel

Shooter · 03-07-2011, 08:33 AM

I would like to see what loads are working the best for the AR in 6.5 Grendel.
Do we have anybody working loads up on here.
So far we have not found a combination that gets near 1/2 MOA in the AR.
(AR has a 24" ss Bull Barrel)

Thanks

check out ar15.com i think that they might have more answers then us. seems like a lot of us are chambered in 5.56 or .308

Thanks

Seems to be more thoughts than actual good data.
Some of the loads we have tried are very disappointing for accuracy.
Seems nobody can actually settle on safe Max loads for the AR platform!
Sounds like we'll need to spend the time and hope AA's max loads are correct.

To show what I am talking about here is one quote we found a while back.

.................................................. ........
Careful with this load and other AA load data. According to some members over at the Grendel forum AA loads have been pressure tested by Hornady and deemed "over pressure" and "unsafe". tread lightly and be safe. Some are even experiencing broken bolts with these loads.

The AR works at lower preasures so looking for signs on the fired brass is not an option.
I need to get Hornady's Data.
