Just wanted to use my resources wisely since we're never as prepared as we wanna be. I've got an assortment of good powder but more cfe223 n h4895. Probably best to work up with one of those. Got 3 did 123grain pills smk nosler and Hornady all bthp Hornady brass cci41's 18 in Criterion barrel AR platform.....Any help?? I guess mentioning it's a 6.5 Grendel would help

I've got the ar-comp figured out. That stuff is great anything between 27.8 n 28.4 is better than most 28.2 at 2.250 is where mine likes it. I need some data on h4895 n cfe223 wth 123 class pills. I'm new to Grendel n really saved alot of time n material just by reading from this forum.I figured the same could apply for other powders. My chamber/barrel seems to like those shorter oal loads if that helps. Also have a couple lbs of win748
Bunch of reloaders of 6.5 gr use Xbr 8208 but I can’t get decent speeds out of if. About as fast as I can get it is 2250 or so (18” barrel with 120s). I get good speed with AR Comp.
I will say that those were Barnes ttsx and my gun hates those bullets.
I have some Nosler 120bt and it’s shoots sub MOA with those. May retry the 8208.

Loaded up some cfe223 yesterday "I got ahold of 1000 #41 primers and 8 lbs of cfe223" and it's looking promising . Got up to 30.2 grains and accuracy was still there. I don't have a chrno so no velocity data but the paper doesn't lie. I'm going to work up another ladder today n chase some seating depth.
Yeah I've got a lb of AR-COMP and whenever it's available again I'll get all I can. It shoots nice groups no matter the charge but from 27.8- 28.3 it's lights out. Funny how powders designed for semi auto rifles shoots so well outta any gas gun
