Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel - LRRPF52 - 05-28-2012
Here's where I'm at so far guys. Thanks for all the help! Still needing a lot more pills, but it's coming along great. I will get the whole Lapua line-up this summer.

If they make something in an 160+ grain that would be a bad ass bullet for sub-sonic. The bullet would be very long as brass is less dense than lead but that's good for SS loads. More bullet in the case = better load density.

The projectile line-up pic is getting ready to grow a bunch when I get back.
Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel - Drifter - 08-08-2012
I have the following bullets that I can send if they're needed:
123 A-max
140 A-Max
129 SST
129 InterBond
100 Hornady
100 TTSX
127 TTSX
130 Scirocco
123 Scenar
139 Scenar
100 Berger
120 Berger
130 Berger
107 SMK-MC
123 SMK
100 BT
120 BT
130 AB
123 NCC
140 NCC
Might have more, but reasonably sure I have those listed above.
Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel - LRRPF52 - 08-09-2012
Drifter, if you check the spreadsheet that Rickoshay made, it has a section for "LRRP has". I now have every 6.5mm bullet offered by Lapua, including ones that aren't even available yet in the Scenar L series.
I have everything on the above list, except maybe the 127gr TTSX. Not sure about the 130gr AB or 140gr NCC. I'll check the spreadsheet right now.
I have Barnes 127gr LRX if that is the same as the 127gr TTSX.
I don't appear to have the 130gr Nosler Accubond.
Looks like I need the 120gr Berger too.
Also the 140gr Nosler Custom Competition.
So it looks like I need:
100 TTSX
120 Berger
130 AB
140 NCC
Thanks. I'll let you know further details via PM.

Just let me know where to send 'em.

that selection would make great grendel display for my work shop.

LR, sounds like Drifter has the missing ones, but I've also got 120 Bergers and pretty sure I've got a couple 130 Accubonds if you need samples.

So they are doing the L series in 6.5?
Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel - Drifter - 08-10-2012
Apparently, there is a new triple-ogive 6.5mm 142gr bullet:

I'm over several ponds right now so I can't look at everything I have, but I think I need the 130gr Accubond. Not sure about the 120 Berger, but send it anyway just in-case. Thanks!

Yes, they are. I have 120gr Scenar-L samples to test, and they look nice. Lapua has been getting .3 MOA 8-round groups with them at 300m with different test rifles consistently. They build these bullets with a totally new manufacturing method.

I received a box of Norma 130g Diamond Lines would you like a sample?

I was actually thinking about sending some of the Scenar-L's to you, since you have way more data on what will make a 120gr BTHP group well from a 24" pipe, even though I have promised to test them in my .260 Rem as well. I hope I have enough for both!
Yeah, is the 130gr Norma Diamond new? Oh wait, it looks like a GT that is moly-coated, right? I'm interested to see what you can do with those out of your 24". The PF 123gr Moly Scenars run at 24" velocities from my 16", and that's a factory load that doesn't show pressure signs, and gave me crazy low ES, like benchrest dream ES.
Sure, send me a Diamond Line. I can at least include it in one of the photos.

LRRPF52 I have Speer 87 HP & SP, Norma 77 SP, Speer 100 HP & Sierra 160 SMP. PM me and I will send them to you.
Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel - Northwind - 08-17-2012
LRRPF52,
shipment was just confirmed to me in which i have some of the 130gr acubond. , when they get here I would be willing to part with a few for the cause ... let me know what to do...
regards
Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel - LRRPF52 - 08-18-2012
Northwind,
Thanks for the offer. I think we're good, so you won't have to spend $20 to send me a simple bullet. I think Hanka, (the site administrator), is going to send me a 130gr AB.
rasp65, will do.

How about 123's in the Laupa L? Or did they just go with 120?
Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel - LRRPF52 - 08-19-2012
They just went with the 120gr. It also has a more tangential ogive than a 123gr Scenar, kinda like a 120gr SMK, but it is long.
