Forum: 6.5 Grendel Ammunition & Reloading Discuss 6.5 Grendel handloading data as well as official SAAMI 6.5 Grendel factory ammunition. Any new threads about specific bullets or powders should have that name in the title, otherwise add to existing threads dedicated to specific bullets or powders. The rows should read “6.5 Grendel 123gr Hornady SST® (14.5” Barrel) MV = 2310 FPS.” The rest of the data in those rows is consistent with the 2310 FPS muzzle velocity from a 14.5″ barrel. The 6.5 Grendel has the flexibility to move from lightweight varmint bullets in the 90-grain class, which offer superb accuracy for competition and small game shooting, to mid-weight, 108- to 120-grain competition bullets, and then on to 130- and 140-grain bullets, ideal for longer range, tactical shooting. 25-06 Remington Load Data; 257 Weatherby Magnum Load Data; 6.5 Grendel Load Data; 6.5 Creedmoor Load Data; 6.5 X 55 Swedish Mauser Load Data; 260 Remington Load Data; 6.5mm-06 A-Square Load Data; 6.5-284 Norma Load Data; 6.5 Remington Magnum Load Data; 264 Winchester Magnum Load Data; 26 Nosler Load Data; 6.8 Remington SPC Load Data; 27 Nosler. Nov 17, 2017 In developing its 6.5 Grendel load data, Sierra tested a very wide selection of propellants, 19 in all. For the 85gr to 100gr varmint bullets, modern powders such as XMR 2230, Power Pro Varmint, and Ramshot TAC offered the best velocity in the 24″ test barrel. For the heavier 120gr to 130gr match bullets, Sierra tested a selection of powders.
