    is there a successful 6mm Grendel wildcat round?

    just curious. I always loved shooting .243 and the thought of being able to get 243 ballistics in an AR-15 intrigues me. Of course the 6.5 Grendel with 100gr handloads gives similar performance and probably flatter shooting to a 100gr 243 or 6mm Remington. So I should probably just let it go in my mind and not worry about it.
    But I am curious if anyone has 6mm wildcat they shoot

      Quite a bit of reading here, if you scroll down the page a ways. I think it's one of the best rounds in the ar15 and more versatile for the varmint/up to deer size game. Shoot 87's at 3000 fps, 70's at 3200 to 3300, 95's at 2900+. I have two.

        I've been shooting a 243 LBC in both bolt and AR for several years. Mostly at 500 yards and a bit of 100 yard bench work. It is easy to make and shoots well. I stick with Lapua brass and am using Redding Type S dies. The velocities above are accurate. 58's up around 3500 easy.

          I'm shooting 107 SMK's at 2750 in a 6mm Fat Rat. Love. It.

            The Grendel based 6mm has several names but are essentially the same. (6mmAR, 6mm Predator, .243LBC) all depends on who is cutting the barrels.
