Any new threads about specific bullets or powders should have that name in the title, otherwise add to existing threads dedicated to specific bullets or powders. The 6.5 Grendel transforms the military 7.62×39 parent case by necking it down to 6.5mm, blowing out the shoulder, and changing to a Small Rifle primer and flash hole. As a close relative of the benchrest-proven 6.5mm PPC, the 6.5 Grendel is the ideal length to seat long-ogive 120-grain and 130-grain bullets within the AR-15 magazine length.
Hornady Manufacturing Company develops and publishes reloading data for the Handbook of Cartridge Reloading. Occasionally, we will temporarily publish load data on this page when a bullet becomes available and is not yet listed in the latest edition of the handbook.

Introduction | Volume 1 | Volume 2 |
A lot of Grendel shooters have been asking about load data as well as the the history and utility of this very interesting cartridge. This handbook is the first of a short series dedicated to partially answering many of these and other questions. This first volume provides a brief synopsis of the origins and development history plus commercial sources of Grendel rifles and ammunition. We also included handloading data from four significant commercial sources.

Extract from Chapter IV Grendel Hunting Reach:
A lot of hunters have taken antelope, coyotes, goats, hogs, deer, and even elk using rifles chambered for the Grendel. Indeed, at least one person has used the Hornady 123 grain A-MAX® from the Grendel to take an antelope at 700+ yards. You can read more in the 65Grendel.com forum thread “752-yard-speedgoat” and other similar threads. Remember, however, that this hunter did more or less on the spot practice in the same wind conditions on the day of the shot. The accomplishment nonetheless tells us that this cartridge can reach way out there and touch things with lethal results.
While most of us are not likely to be able to reliably anchor game at those ranges, it does support the notion that the Grendel can readily take game at amazing distances when the right hunter uses a good bullet. One of the secrets to these successes continues to be the excellent range of bullet weights and types for the 6.5mm bore.
While most of us are not likely to be able to reliably anchor game at those ranges, it does support the notion that the Grendel can readily take game at amazing distances when the right hunter uses a good bullet. One of the secrets to these successes continues to be the excellent range of bullet weights and types for the 6.5mm bore.
Let us take a quick look at how this cartridge contributes to the game harvesting performance of the AR-15 by comparing it to AR-10 cartridges like the .243 Winchester and .260 Remington. The short answer is that there is very little difference in the medium game potential of these cartridges at ranges under about 250 yards. Further the Grendel shows credible hunting potential to well beyond 500 yards for the right shooter and bullet.
The Grendel shooter, and indeed anyone who uses a rifle with a 6.5 mm bore, has an enormous selection of bullets to choose from. About half of the more than 100 6.5mm bullets that can be used in the Grendel are shown in Figure 12 below.
Figure 12. This photo shows only about half of the more than 100 bullets available for the Grendel.
The cartridge does as well as or slightly better than the .243 Winchester at the longer ranges in spite of having a steeper trajectory. The price paid for using either the .243 or the .260 Remington to get flatter trajectories, of course, is that the rifles are necessarily heavier because they must be used on the AR-10 frame or similar length bolt action rifles…

Posted by Bill Alexander on the 6.5 Grendel Forum:
“Met with Paul and he showed me the new Grendel reloading book. Absolutely superb work from all those involved and a must for any Grendel owner or even the avid reloader who dabbles in small case stuff. Production standard is beautiful and I almost wish I could get a hard cover version for my own bookshelf.”

Errata for 6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbook:
We found a typo!
The errors occur in the following locations:
- Table 3 on page 25
- Table 5 on page 31
- Table 6 on page 31
The muzzle velocity for the 123 gr SST 6.5 Grendel projectile was originally calculated for a 18″ barrel. In an effort to showcase the advantages of the AR-15 platform for hunting, we changed this analysis to a 14.5″ barrel.
6.5 Grendel Reloading Data From Sierra Bullets « Daily Bulletin
The row heading in the tables was not updated when the new data was updated. Thus, although the data in the table is accurate, the row heading still contains the MV for the 18″ barrel, NOT the 14.5″ barrel.
The rows should read “6.5 Grendel 123gr Hornady SST® (14.5” Barrel) MV = 2310 FPS.”
![Cached Cached](/uploads/1/1/9/5/119565785/903971304.jpg)
The rest of the data in those rows is consistent with the 2310 FPS muzzle velocity from a 14.5″ barrel.
