Decisions - First 6.5 Grendel purchase
#2
Quote:6.5 GRENDEL (LBC)
Bullet diameter: .264”
Uses: Coyotes, hogs, deer, and elk
Effective Range: 0-600 yds./coyotes, 0-400 yds./elk
Advantages: Packs a whole lot of punch from an AR15 platform. Ammunition is readily available from multiple sources and high quality. The 6.5 Grendel has the advantage over similar cartridges in that the case is of sufficient size to allow generous amounts of powder and at the same time short enough to allow long, high B.C. (Ballistic Coefficient) bullets to be seated at magazine length.
Disadvantages: Ammunition is only available in the most popular configurations. However, this is easily overcome by hand loading.
History: 6.5 Grendel was officially designed in 2003, however, it was long in existence prior to that as various benchrest community wildcats.


I've never head of this company before but here's what I found on their website:
