Hey Bill, you going to test them banded solids against auto glass this summer?
Reloading data from the old site - BJIvory - 07-15-2011
dumb question: are these maximum loads?
where did this information come from?
Reloading data from the old site - infidel470 - 07-16-2011
There are no dumb questions when it comes to reloading. The information was put together by someone else on the old 6.5 Grendel web site, based on different reloading trial and error experience. The powder charge would be considered maximum safe load for the particular rifle and shooting conditions at the time. I would start with at least 2 grains lower ( due to ambient temperature ) charge for a given load in 0.3 grains increments. Keep in mind, at the time of the information there was only 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 CSS chambers compared to the multitude we are seeing now.

I don't know what chamber i have.
I do know that it checks out with the go/ nogo gauges that i received form PTG.
is the difference in the chamber something i should consider for safety when building a load? :confused:

BJ, figuring out which chamber you have is fairly simple. Where did you get the barrel/upper?
As for load maximums, if you start 10-15% or so below maximums, you should be fine.
If the go/no go gauges are fine, it shouldn't matter much so far as safety is concerned.

This is the powder I'm using but I have 123 A-Max instead of lapua is it safe to use this data for my Amax? Also can u explain what I'm looking at here. I understand the first part and the OAL but what is the Fed. 205M the brass that was used?

I tried this load at Lapua Nosler 120 gr. Ballistic Tip Varget 28.5 gr. CCI #450 2.260" and I had several cases come out good, however I had 3 of them blow out the side by the rim, I wish I would have saved the cases. A member from another forum swears by the accuracy that comes from the Grendel, I purchased a firearm from him and was I disappointed with the results, he fixed it sent me another barrel but still wasn't impressed with the accuracy. He agreed to load some rounds for me and upon attempting to chamber a round in my AR the whole case got stuck! It quickly ruined my day at the range and had a hard time trying to remove it. I have had some moments with this caliber that I was almost at the point on giving up on it.. I bought my gages for reloading and such but I still don't feel confident in reloading this caliber. I can reload the .243 for the AR and the .308 bolt gun just perfect, but the grendel has given me some issues that I have been at the point in getting rid of it.
Trouble shooting:
I have a RCBS digital scale and dispenser, I have tested the weight on the dispensed load on my Dillon digital thingy and it is accurate, I am using CCI 450 magnum primers.
What am I doing wrong?

Found in AR15.com archives. Not sure what the COALs were. We used to have the reloading section broken down into hunting, target-shooting, barrel lengths, and projectile weights on the old forum. I wish we had that back really.
