Drift Wrote:One of the guys from the Southern Hemisphere Von Guff if I remember correctly, has a made his own 6.5 "Grendel Max" It's a blown out Grendel that gets a couple extra grains of powder in the cartridge case , but still will shoot factory 6.5 Grendel. The down side is higher pressures of course.
Correction on that Drift. My Grendel-Max has the shoulder pushed forward by .050 so I have to neck up to 308 then neck down for the lengthened shoulder so I cant use the factory Grendel ammo but I do use the Grendel dies for load work simply by having a fixed .050 shim on top of the shell holder. You can see the differences (in red) between the Grendel and the Grendel-Max and with loaded cartridge length at 2.405 along with the lengthed shoulder, I have a capacity advantage that explains why I can get 2700fps with the 123gn bullet from my 21in barrel without getting into much higher pressure.
