[pokey]

What are some good loads for a shilen 20" 6.5 Grendel barrel?
Thank you,
Pokey

I've gotten my best accuracy with 26.2 gr of Benchmark under the Hornady SST 123 grains, giving me about 2526 fps on my Chrony (0.55" for 3 rounds at 100 yds). I got a pretty similar point of impact, without much velocity variation, going up to 26.9 gr. Still about 1 MOA at 26.9 gr, so that's my hunting load.

Hornady's book for the 123 gr AMAX says 23 gr up to 27.1 gr. As always, start low and work up.

Welcome aboard pokey. There is a ton of load data in the 6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbooks. Once you work out what COL you need to be at or under with your chamber and bullet, there is a laundry list of different powders to choose from.

So far my best loads start with Lapua brass and scenar 123g bullets. I've used N140 powder in the past, but so far 8208 is doing well.

I'm loading 31.0 grains CFE 223, CCI 450 primers in Hornady or Lapua cases with 123 grain Nosler CC or 123 grain A-Max. I bought a lot of Nosler 123 Grain CC blems and over runs from Shooters Pro Shop. This is my go to load for my 20" Shilen and gives me MOA or better if I do my part.
