Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel

[LRRPF52]

I would also like to have a picture of all the Grendel projectiles in a line-up, which will be fun to put together. Maybe several people could send me one of each of the bullets that I don't have, and I could do the line-up photo with each projectile numbered and annotated. I get tired of the 6.8 SPC Bullets photo with several GS Custom Solids in the list, banned bullets shown, and bullets that won't even mag-feed from an AR COAL listed, with that being used as evidence that there are more projectiles available for the 6.8, when nothing could be further from the truth. I actually believed that claim until I researched what was available for the Grendel just up to the 130gr class of bullets from big-name manufacturers, let alone the speciality bullet makers and 140gr projectiles that still will feed through the Grendel.

There are way more 6.5mm bullets out there than there ever will be for .277 bores, and .264" bores haven't been popular in the US until recently with the growing tide of .260 Remington, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6.5x47 Lapua rifles, with a slowly increasing resurgence in the .264/6.5 magnums that Winchester and Remington introduced in 1959 and 1966.

Here are the 6.5 bullets I currently have for the photo:

100gr Nosler BT
107gr Sierra Match King
120gr Nosler BT
120gr SMK
123gr Prvi SP
123gr AMAX
123gr Lapua Scenar
129gr Hornady SST
130gr Berger VLD

I'll see what I can get from bwaites and LR1955 at BoomerShoot when we meet up for a weekend of long-range explosive fun.
