New 6.5 Gendel Ammo Coming From AA

Just got this email:

New Ammunition

In traditional fashion, we continue to innovate in all of our product lines. We have been experimenting with a new style of projectile in 6.5 Grendel, so we may have news available for our customers in the coming weeks! Watch our News & Events page for the latest releases.

Am expecting cool stuff!

Sounds like the new ELD-X bullet.

Hopefully some Lehigh and ARX solids like they did for the Beowulf.

Hopefully a version of the Gmx in lighter trim, so I can get some rest !

I would be surprised if it is the new Hornady ELD bullets. The 140 gr 6.5 is heavier than anything they currently load for the Grendel - the heaviest bullet they offer now is the 130 gr Swift. If it is the 140 gr ELD, maybe they figure the high BC out past 500 yards will make up for the lower initial velocity with the heavy a bullet. Side note: I got my first batch of 140 gr ELD Match in yesterday and will be making up some loads for my 6.5 Creedmoor, replacing the 140 gr Berger Hybrids at the same CBTO length and will compare the two. I get between 1/4 and 1/2 MOA with the Berger Hybrids - but unfortunately, my local range only goes to 300 yards - probably too short a distance to see a difference with the new Hornady tip.

Has anyone heard anything new about the Grendel ammo? I know AA is slow at times, but they kinda of have gotten better. Since back in the day they where known for being really slow.

Thanks for any update anyone might have, if need be you can IM me

Wonder if anyone would have an intrest in a lighter weight GMX bullet in the Grendel

Personally I would like to see a 90 to 100 grain GMX for a new projectile offering for the Grendel. Suppose that could never happen, as I am probably the only Grendel user that would go for the lighter weight GMX:-)

Oh no you are not, sdguy

Would be great if it was something like that b/c cabelas down the road carries AA ammo.

100 grn Barnes TTSX pills are deadly, I would love to see a 95 or 100 grn GMX factory load from someone.
