I just received the latest RifleShooter magazine and they have a great article on 6.5mm cartridges. Here's a link to that article: www.rifleshootermag.com/ammunition/RS_thelongsuffering_200812/index.html I've really become interested in getting either a 6.5x55 Swede or a .260 Rem. The most commonly used 6.5mm bullet for hunting is the 140gr. and it has a better sectional density than the 180gr. .30 caliber. Don |

I read the same article, I was annoyed that they didn't mention the Grendel. It is a perfect round in an AR15. I loaded up some Sierra 120gr last week, 2500 fps, which is max for the case and rifle. This round can be loaded hotter in a bolt action. My next tinkering will be the 6.5-06 I think. That seems like one flat shooting SOB.

I read the same article, I was annoyed that they didn't mention the Grendel. I did notice that they avoided mentioning the Grendel. I wonder why? Don |
