Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel

[LRRPF52]

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.

[txgunner00]

Very cool.

[eljefe]

Thanks LRRP/Bwaites /and the Horde
I did find a 100gr Lapua CUTTING EDGE 100gr
While the raptors have been around a while, they have recently rolled in down under as in:

What do you think? I am keen to try em out in my bolt Grendel...
Cheers

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.

[Drifter]

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.

[LRRPF52]

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.

[Drifter]

Drifter...

Thanks. I'll let you know further details via PM.

Just let me know where to send 'em.

[usmc1371]

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

[BluntForceTrauma]

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?

[Drifter]

Apparently, there is a new triple-ogive 6.5mm 142gr bullet:

Also some offerings from Cutting Edge:

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!

So they are doing the L series in 6.5?

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.

[Bwild97]

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

[LRRPF52]

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.

[Northwind]

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

[LRRPF52]

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.

[QUOTE]

How about 123's in the Laupa L? Or did they just go with 120?

[LRRPF52]

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.
