6.5mm Grendel - a very accurate round

A long distance accurate round, little recoil, very similar in ballistics to my .22C.
Worth looking into.

(Some tests indicate that it can be .3 MOA-accurate, even past half a mile.)

So 65mm groups at 800m ish. That is handy shooting, reckon you can beat it with the 22C?

Of course :)

Of course :)

Assuming of course

it's not raining,
it hasn't been raining in the last few hours,
it's not likely to rain in the next 4 hours

AND finally the ambient air temp is above 18'C :lol:

The end result is a compact rifle with a decent barrel length that handles very well and as I was to discover punches well above is weight. Just to whet your appetite two loads I developed using VihtaVuori N130 and N530 powders offer the following figures:

85-grain Sierra HP Varminter 3103 fps/1810 ft/lbs
100-grain Nosler Partition 2861fps/1830 ft/lbs
100-grain Nosler ballistic tip 2916 fps/1870 ft/lbs

None shoots outside ½” at 100 yards, all of which is most impressive and powder charges do not exceed 30-grains. In terms of ability the 6.5 Grendel really does offer 223-like characteristics with near 243 Win performance without any problems.

If I could have a S/A AR-15 then the Grendel would be my choice.
