The Grendel handbook, vols 1 and 2, you need them. Sold below in the vendor section, AR15 buildbox .com

The 95 Vmax is 1.107" as listed there (I have them but am away from my workbench).
The 100 Amax is 1.05", the Eldm will be close to that.

Lotsa, lotsa bullets listed in there for info, plus BC's, gel tests, shooting and hunting info.........

I have two boxes of 95g vmaxes, old box was bought about ten years, new bix a week ago. Both boxes have bullets that are 1.021" in length.

Got back and looked at my workbench.
The Vmax's I measured (8) ranged 1.0205-1.024, most centered on 1.022. Could be there's a typo in the book, maybe they meant more like 1.017... or something.
The 100 gr Eldm's I measured 1.047 +/- 0.0005. Pretty close to the A-max listed.
It's still a really good book set, but I'm reporting measurements in this case as I find them.

If the data in the book set is not accurate why mess it ?

Just re-measured mine and got the same measurements as you.

Just shows we're human, that's all! I still like the books a lot and recommend them without fail. They are the best little Grendel ref's out there.

I'm sure it was my fault. I was thinking maybe it might be an issue of manufacturing variance, but when I checked my box of 95gr V-MAX, it was immediately clear.

No way are they deviating a tenth of an inch in length.

95gr V-MAX is a great little varmint and 2-legged round.

Wouldn't be surprised if it did well on hogs and deer like the 90gr TNT does.

Could you feller's tell me if there is any info pertaining to the 120 speer gold dot bullet in these 6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbooks ?Thinking about ordering these handbooks I really like this particle bullet and would like to learn all i could about it's good qualities and it's bad qualities...

The 120 gold dot was not included in the Handbooks. The 120 Sierra Pro Hunter was used.

Grayfox did a comparison of these two earlier this year:

Speer has some laod data and bullet data on their website for the 120 gold dot.

I have it on my phone vie pdf.

They used a 24 inch universal reciver so velocity's list are for that length.

Power pro 2000 mr showed the most speed at just over 2600 fps.

I don't have any of that myself but they show data for varget. And since I would be useing this bullet as a 300 yard and closer hunting bullet the varget data is what most interest me of the data they listed.

Google 120 gold dot 6.5 grendel data and it should come up.

Scrape Hunter - there is a nice search engine for the Grendel forum:

Grendel Forum Search

If you enter gold dot, there are several hits from posts on the 120gr Gold Dot with a variety of powders.
