I wouldn’t let the 2600 fps velocity bother me at all with the 129 gr. ABLR bullet. I’ve been using it for years now deer hunting in a CZ-527 6.5 Grendel loaded to a chronographed 2600 fps muzzle velocity and it is a killing machine. Based upon my experience you will be very pleasantly...

I have been using the 6.5mm 129 gr, ABLR for a number of years now in my 6.5 Grendel bolt action loaded to 2600 fps muzzle velocity. It is an absolutely great killer in that little cartridge. I loaded it to just under 2700 fps muzzle velocity for my Kimber Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor which I used...

Thanks for your replies. My friend & his son have recovered all the game they’ve shot with the 6.5 Creedmoor so no lost game just not as much in the way of pass throughs. I get 2600 fps with my 6.5 Grendel 129 gr. ABLR load using Shooters World Match Rifle so not giving up too much to the...

I have spent most of the past few years deer hunting with a 6.5 Grendel in my CZ-527. I’m posting the question as a couple of friends are switching back to the 308 Winchester cartridge for their deer hunting as they have found blood trails with the 6.5 Creedmoor to be poor. I am a bit...

I also had excellent results on white tail with the Solid Base bullets prior to the advent of Ballistic Tips

I used mine for the first time today. Easy, easy, easy - best shooting purchase I’ve made in years !

Called RCBS today and lady I spoke to said it shouldn’t have been an issue with case dimensions so they are mailing me a new set of jaws. I’ll see if that takes care of it. Regardless could not have asked for a quicker, more polite response. I’ll see if that addresses the issue when I get...

Working on priming my first batch of 6.5 PRC cases today and found that my RCBS hand priming tool really didn’t work all that well with the fatter case. I switched to the RCBS Automatic Priming Tool on my bench and found that it was really easy to use and primed the 80+ cases I had left to...

More scope than required for cartridge but I am using a Leupold VX6 2-12x42 w/Firedot Duplex on my CZ527 6.5 Grendel. My ranges/shots are close in south west Mississippi so I like the reticle for poor visibility and the upper magnification for my old eyes…. I know you don’t need that much...

Thanks - I know I can’t shoot close to that but do appreciate the info.

Curious about folks experience with the Nosler 168 gr. ABLR in the 280 AI. I have a Kimber 84L that I haven’t done much with and since I was able to get some of the 168 gr. ABLR would appreciate hearing from those who’ve loaded that bullet in the 280AI, thanks.

Ordered one of these for my new Garmin - thanks for the information !

I’ve taken 2 more deer with the above load so far this season and it has continued to perform above my expectations. I really don’t think I will use another hunting load in this rifle - it just works. Anyway that’s all I have to report. No trophies - took two does for meat. They were both...

I have taken 2 deer using 143 gr. 6.5mm Norma Bond Strike loaded to 2800 fps in my 6.5 Creedmoor. One was a decent (for where I live) ~ 165# 8 point shot through white throat patch as it was nearing end of legal shooting hours and it was what I could see - DRT no bullet recovered. Other was a...
