6mm Grendel Group Design Project

[StoneHendge]

Is this really worth doing for 0.020" less diameter?

The best long range target bullet for 6.5 Grendel is the 123 Scenar with a G7 of .264 (my opinion). With a 6mm Grendel, you can push a 105 RDF a lot faster (same case capacity) and it has a .280 G7 (or 105 Berger Hybrid with a .275 G7).

In comparison, I do a 130 gr Norma GT with a G7 of .285 at 2800 out of my 24" 6.5 CM. I got over 2900 with factory Prime ammo (same bullet), but that stuff is hot. 2800 should be attainable with a 24" 6mm Grendel (even more with BFT's bigger case), so it really would be nipping at the S'more's heels - from a small frame.
