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 mostly looking for loads/bullets for medium game at ~250 yds and under, but would be interested to hear about loads of any type that people have had good luck with.
I love 8208 XBR in my .223s so I'll probably try that first, a few 8208 loads that I see mentioned over and over again are:
123gr bullet w/ 28.5gr 8208
129gr bullet w/ 27gr 8208
Obviously I'll do my own load work ups, but I'd love to hear what loads your Grendel likes, and what bullets you prefer for deer sized game?
