CXRs Wrote:I figured out part of my issue was the crimp on the bullets. I made a couple loads without any crimp and a hair more seating depth, and they came in much closer to an inch. I had a couple different types of brass in the load(star line and hornady) so I'm thinking I'll try to load up a few from identically prepped brass.
Also did a few loads with CFE-223, and had similar results, but at seemingly greater velocities(based off POI) I'm hunting down a good load for game and want the best balance of speed and accuracy I can find.
I have yet to crimp a Grendel. Changing seating depth can yield good results but readjust powder also. Deeper seating can yield higher pressure conversely longer depth you may find you may need to add a touch more. Seems like that bullet liked it around 2.245
