    Got into 6.5 grendel a several months ago, working on a 2nd build for my wife. Happened on to this site when searching for Grendel bolts. Heres a picture of my complete tac driver.

            Welcome!! What did you use to paint/coat your rig?

                  Very nice. If you haven't got one already, we just put out a 6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbook: http://ar15buildbox.com/Home_Page.html

                  We seem to share similar tastes in coating. I also use a lot of FDE Cerakote on my blasters-one of the best firearms finishes on the market.

                      Nice looking rifle, are you reloading or shooting factory ammo? Just wondering what you're using in your tack driver. Welcome to the Horde.

                          Thanks.

                          I'm reloading for it. Hornaday brass, 123 gr Amax over 27.5 grains of H335.

                            The 6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbook shows a max load of 28.7gr of H335 with the 123gr Sierra Match King, which has more bearing surface (which usually means it generates pressure faster if the jacket thickness and hardness are the same). That's probably with Lapua brass though.

                            Have you chono'd that load yet? I'd be interested to see what you're getting.
