6.5 grendel

I do a light crimp with a Lee Factory Crimp Die on my 6.5-CM AR-10 (LWRCI REPR MKII)
Do not. Have used annealing and mandrels to establish proper neck tension, and bullets without cannelure groove with consistent results/SD in 223/6.5GR/6.5CM.
Anybody having success with 130 AR hybrids out of an 18" bolt gun?
I may just run those for deer since it's what I got. Ideally, I wanted 120 gold dots but we all know how that goes.

Ended up finding some 120s and 123 AMAX bullets. I think those should work fairly well with the grendel.
And from what I've heard, AMAX bullets were all the rage on deer!

I do not crimp the Grendel or any other AR15 or AR10 cartridge. I do own Lee FCD for several of these cartridges but have always seen better results without using them, regardless whether there is a cannelure or not in the bullet.
The only "sorta" exception is using a crimp die to remove case mouth flare when loading cast bullets. But even then no crimp is applied, just a straightening of the case mouth.

Everything that gets shot in one of my ARs gets a light crimp with a Lee Factory Crimp Die.
If I were getting crap accuracy, I'd reconsider using it, but I've yet to have a rifle that wouldn't shoot MOA or better (except for one BA barrel).
