6.5 Grendel Subsonic?

[poke5353]

Does anyone have any load info the the 6.5 Grendel in a Subsonic load. Looking to use 160's or so. I understand the 6.5 grendel was not made for this but I want the option to use it subsonic so I dont have to build a 300 Blackout upper. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: 6.5 Grendel Subsonic?

The 160 gr. RN won't stabilize in your 1-9" twist barrel at subsonic velocities. You're probably going to be limited to 100 gr. bullets. The Lapua 100 gr. FMJ is probably a good candidate.

It isn't going to cycle your action the way a 300 Blackout load will...

any luck finding a working subsonic load? I was going to start with some BLC2 and the 123gr Hornadys, but i have ZERO experience working up a load like that.
