I reload for my rifles.
Two thoughts.
1. The 121 gr 6.5 shows 1.462" length, which exceeds the 129 Nosler ABLR at 1.350. IMO the ABLR is as long as I would go, and even for that one I personally load it only in my Howa where I can get longer coal's. Most of the time I'd load the 130 gr Accubond anyway b/c it's a bit shorter still (powder room) but very accurate and able to go farther than I can shoot - 400 yds for bambi if I saw one that far...
2. They are $62.00 per 50, which also makes them pretty costly to shoot very much.
Those 2 considerations for me make this bullet a non-starter, I have too much fun shooting the regular bullets, and I shoot pretty often for a retired guy-amateur.
Others may like them however, I'm just sayin' for me.
Like your tagline by the way![I]"Down the floor, out the door, Go Brandon Go!!!!!"[/I] -
I watched and read the testing on snipershide of the warner tool bullets and they are impressive....a 20 inch 308 outperformed a 6.5 creedmoor....I would like to try some, but the length looks to be too much for a Grendel to get the performance the bullet is capable of...Comment

These were discussed previously and the consensus was that they were too long to be able to achieve the velocities to take advantage to the design.

I did say it was a novice question. I kind of thought it would be too long. Just wanted to be sure.-Zac

No questions are considered silly here brother.Comment

Even it it wasn't too long, the cost alone would prevent me from shooting it in 6.5 Grendel, regardless of how fast it goes. Might be a different story if I was a sponsored shooter, and I was capable of shooting 5 shot groups @ .25 MOA.[B]Sticks
Catchy sig line here.
