Bolt thrust force with the Grendel compared to 223

[VASCAR2]

Good questions but one advantage to a Savage conversion is you can get a new bolt head from PTG to mate the 6.5 Grendel case. I’d rather change the bolt head than mill out a 5.56/223 bolt. One advantage to the Cz and Zastava in 7.62x39 was they were chambered for 7.62x39 so was just a barrel change. With the popularity of the 6.5 Grendel Cz now sell three rifles chamber for the 6.5 Grendel, Howa is in the game plus Ruger now has two bolt actions for 6.5 Grendel.

Target Sports has just updated their web site with a Match load from Barnes and two factory loads from Remington in 6.5 Grendel plus PPU and new Hornady Frontier line.
