grendel

Hello all. I’m thinking about buying a new barrel for my 6.5 grendel AR and would like some suggestions and feedback. I originally wanted it to wear an 18” barrel but put an Alexander Arms 16” lightweight profile barrel on it because it was in stock and on sale (which was something at the time I...

I have a question I feel like I should already know the answer to but have never thought to ask before: how much do you bump the shoulder when resizing brass for an ar15, or is that even a valid concept in a gas gun (or is the case being ejected “too soon” for this concept to work)? Here’s the...

Debating switching my main ’get work done’ AR upper from an 18” rifle length 5.56, to an 18” rifle length 6.5 Grendel. I’d like to see first how common it would be to come across ammo without ordering online.

I just posted this on another forum and figured they're might be some folks interested here as well. SAAMI just added a 6mm Grendel derivative called the 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge or 6mm ARC to their newly accepted cartridges list. 6mm ARC introduction pdf The case looks like the shoulder...

Well I finally have all the pieces and am getting ready to put together my first 6.5 Grendel in 16" lightweight AR form. I've been reading about loads and bullets for the Grendel and thought it'd be interested to see what loads my fellow THR-ers are using and what bullets everyone prefers. I'm...

I recently installed a new Odin Works 6.5 Grendel barrel in an AR15 upper receiver. After break in using Hornady 123 gr AMAX factory ammo and thoroughly cleaning everything I set about measuring up for some hand loading. With a Hornady OAL gauge and 120 AMAX bullets, I measured 2.237" OAL with...

I've been reloading for about a year so still pretty new to the game. I'm looking for some experienced advice. I don't know about anyone else but I don't find a lot of load data for Grendel -- and even less using CFE 223. I've been working on a load for Grendel 6.5, Hornady 123 gr SST and...

Most 6.5 Grendel bolt guns have used either a Mini Mauser or CZ 527 Carbine as the base. I'd like to have an ultralight repeater in 6.5 Grendel (mostly for deer). J&G has Zastava Mini Mausers in 7.62x39 ($400) and CZ has the 527 Carbine in 7.62x39 ($660). Both will create a serviceable rifle...
