6.5 Grendel and 120gr BT's

[tpepper70]

Just a quick post showing that the 120gr BT's shoot really good out of my 18" Bear Creek Arsenal barrel in my AR15. I can't wait to use this on whitetail this year. AR Comp powder is good stuff. Yes, my writing is terrible. I wasn't planning on posting this pic. 6 shots at 100 yards off a bipod and squeezing a sandbag under the rear. I'm not posting this bragging on my groups, because I'm not that good of a shot, but to show the potential of handloads with the Grendel. Thanks

Definitely encouraging. I should imagine that will work very well for you.

Yes sir, and the reviews I've seen on this bullet are excellent. I will post results when I have a deer or hog on the ground.

T,
Any idea on speed?
Cool cartridge by the way.

I don't know for sure. Books and other people with similar powder charges show upper 2400's to low 2500's, which I'd be happy with. I went this route for deer and hogs up to 400 yards and anything further and I'll use my 7mm mag. I really do like it. Fun to shoot and cheap to reload.
