Hodgdon 2022 annual manual totally leaves out 6.5 Grendel.

[tdbru]

the 6.5 section starts with the 6.5x47. No 6.5 Grendel load data at all in the 2022 Hodgdon annual manual.

Cross that off my latest volume 'new books to purchase list'...

To be fair, you can find the 6.5 Grendel load data on Hodgdon's website, just not in the 2022 Annual Manual.

The Grendel is picking up popularity and while the x39 has not been a big reloaded round with the current sanctions I’m sure it will get more popular.
