I am brand new to 6.5 Grendel, and I just started some load development... trying to figure out what my 20" SS spiral fluted BCA barrel likes. Also I like shooting bullets that are heavy for caliber and started my tests with some 140 grain Match Monsters from MidsouthShootersSupply.com over 22.2-25.2 grains of Varget, in Hornady Brass using WSR primers, and a C.O.A.L. of 2.255". I don't have a chronograph yet, so I don't have any velocity numbers for my loads. Only pressure signs i had were extractor swipes on the rim, which i think is due to the gun being over-gassed (let me know if you think I'm wrong, as I'm still learning when it comes to reloading). My best group was at 24.6 grains of varget reaping a .95" 5 shot group, and 4 of the shots were within 1/3".
