You gotta put work into an accurate load for your rifle. Someone else's load might be crap in your build. Not only might your chamber's specs be different, your barrel length, contour and bore come into play, as well as intended distance and any number of other things too. So, tune these suggested loads by playing around with them through OCW or ladder testing.

123gr amax over 28.3gr 8208 in H brass gives me the best results out of a 20 inch barrel.

Don't overlook AA2520 or LeverRevelution. Both work well with the "heavies" in the Grendel. By heavies I mean the 120+ grain bullets.

FWIW, my Grendel prefers either the 120 grain SMK or Berger. It is really noticeable at 600. Yes, I may give up some BC, but I can live with it.
