Hello, new to the forum and fixing to get a 6.5 grendel. I am seeing lots of good accuracy reports on all decent barrels, (AA, Lilja, Les Baer, Lothar Walther, Satern) to name a few. They all seem to shoot excellent in many configurations, lengths, and rifling techniques. I am not sure what to make of the different shapes of chambers out there used to give a different name to the 6.5 G. Does anyone have experience feeding a 264 LBC factory ammo from AA in 6.5 G. ? Or any of the other variants? Any performance consequences or advantages?
Thanks, Randy
I think there is a whole lot of experience by forum members running 6.5 Gredel amo in LBC chambers and LBC ammo in 6.5 Grendel chambers. There is very little difference. It is much like the .223 with a Wylde vs any of the other chambers. Most people don't even know what the have.
I have both chambers and cannot even tell you which is which witout casting the chambers or measuring the fired case throat diameters. I use the same dies and loading data for both.

I agree with Whelenon
The only difference is that some of the "Non Grendel" maker use a different spec for thier chambers. Some of these "Non Grendel" barrels have had issues firing some factory ammo.
I prefer to stick with the Grendel name because you know that they were made to the same specs and will have no issues firing any of the factory ammo. Going with a non grendel barrel, you may end up with a tighter chamber because the specs may or may not be the same.
All factory ammo will fire with no problem in a Grendel chamber.
From what I understand, the reloading dies for .264 and Grendel are both made to the same specs. So, there's no difference.
Thanks for the info. Think I am going w/ a Grendel chamber through Precision firearms.
