6.5 Grendel Ammo Review?

Having never bought any commercial ammunition in 6.5 Grendel I prefer using RP brass in 7.62x39 as it provides small rifle primer pockets affording me to use sm. magnum rifle primers that offer less brisance than the large primers. I shoot, heavy for bore, 140 gr. Sierra bullets pushed by 19.0 gr. of IMR 4198. This load was recommended early in the Grendel's development by Bill Alexander. I doubt you'll find this load recommended today.
It shoots well in my contender and cycles the action in my AR. That's all I'd ask from a round besides hitting consistently at around 100 yds and it does that. I'm content.
