6.5 Grendel @600 yards

[mattri]

Putting together a rifle on a bolt action receiver for a 600 yard local comp- think of it as the jv version of F-class.

Decided to go with the 6.5 Grendel, decent ballistics, good barrel.life, low recoil etc. Also because it's different and a (hopefully) fun experiment.

Dropping barrel off next week so while everything is in gunsmith purgatory thought I'd ask around on folks who have used this round before.

Favorite loads, powders that worked best, tips, suggestions?

Thanks, Matt.

ask bart about it at 600, he has shot similar...BUT
I WOULD do a 6.5x47 or a 6.5 gt( 6gt necked up, no other changes...120-130 bullet)

Will look him up thanks.

Both great rounds, the Grendel is already a go for this one though.
