I wont give you the load details. Let me say this straight out. Give up and dont chance this idea. It's a waist of time, powder, primers,bullets and you will kill your brass life on the first or second shoot.
Dont chase it, it's not worth it, if you need over 3000fps step up too the short action rounds. The grendel just doesnt have the powder capacity vs brass thickness/strength too push it like that.
Advice taken. The 6.5 grendel is truly amazing, but the quest for it to be a consistant accurate round at 3k is for gray beards. Best to move up to a 6.5 creedmoor instead. i have never ever had a max load be the best match load. it seems always to be just a few grains behind to find that tight MOA sweet spot. Thanks for the input.
