    Here is a link to a thread with chrono data for a 12.5" with Wolf Steel case.


    Well guys...I've decided to get rid of my 16" 5.56 ArmaLite, and build a 12.5" pistol based Grendel unit to take its place. When paired with my 20" Grendel rifle...I should be pretty much covered, and won't have to divide up ammo types anymore. The receivers are both Anderson stripped, with an Anderson lower


    David Fortier posted this chrono data on ARF.COM several years ago has a few loads from a 12.5" barrel.

    Velocities are averages of five shots measured on an Oehler 35P chronograph 12 feet from the muzzle at an ambient temperature of 90 degrees F at 1030 feet above Sea Level.

    Alexander Arms 12.5 inch 6.5mm Grendel
    Alexander Arms 100 grain Berger OTM 2470
    Alexander Arms 123 grain Scenar OTM 2330
    Velocity figures are 10 shot averages recorded on an Oehler 35P placed 12 feet from the muzzle 1,030 feet above Sea Level at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees F.

    *Note the low temps with the 12.5 inch gun
