6.5 Grendel START CHARGE 2420 WARNING: Improper handloading practices can result in serious personal injury and/or property damage. Refer to the current SPEER® Reloading Manual for handloading instructions. Be thoroughly familiar with those instructions before using these loads. Cartridge overall length is 2.255' and bullet diameter is.264' (6.5mm). MAP is about 42,000 psi. (The permissible MAP for the AR15/M16 action is only 45,000 psi, according to Alexander, so do not attempt to develop high-pressure loads for the 6.5mm Grendel cartridge.) The intrinsic accuracy of the 6.5 Grendel is alleged to be excellent.
Additional Data Sources
Obsolete reloading data
Obsolete reloading data that has been retired from our Handbook of Cartridge Reloading is available. Find information from previous Handbook editions, with reloading data for seldom-used cartridges that Hornady will no longer be developing.
The 6.5 Grendel has the flexibility to move from lightweight varmint bullets in the 90-grain class, which offer superb accuracy for competition and small game shooting, to mid-weight, 108- to 120-grain competition bullets, and then on to 130- and 140-grain bullets, ideal for longer range, tactical shooting.
Handbook Errata
Errata pages are available for several past publications of our Handbook of Cartridge Reloading.
