    6.5 Grendel

    I just finished building a Grendel. I'm finding it difficult to find recent load data for this thing. I'm not really sure where to start. I think I will be using the 123 ELD. I have a 20" 1-8 barrel. Where do I start with powder? Any advice would be helpful! Thank you!

    I went with joe bob. Had the barrel in 3 days. John over at 8541 tactical is getting submoa with his. My smith is checking mine out Saturday to make sure I didn't screw anything up. Hopefully will get a basic zero and range report Saturday evening. Even with the PRS, between the barrel and Aero...
