MS, I'm using them right now in my 6.5CM-22" with some H4350... still playing with seating depth but so far I can get them into 0.8"/100 yd groups of 4. Not blazing fast but good for 300 yds or so, which was my goal.

Get a Stoney point (Hornady)comparator.It measures bullets from the ogive to give a more precise measurement.Comment

Of the powders I have, Varget was first on the Speer data, but their max of 26.8gr put me at 2200fps out of my 20" BA barrel. No pressure signs, and I usually get ejector swipes even with factory loads. Accuracy was just so-so, best group was 1.25 MOA, with four shots just under 1MOA on the last group (highest charge.) I'm confident that I could push the load up fairly significantly, but I'm wondering if it's worth it with Varget. I have both AR-Comp and 8208XBR. Should I keep going or move on to a different powder? Anybody else try Varget with the 120 SGD?Comment

IMO the Grendel there is not worth throwing varget down the tube, save it for the 223, 308, etc calibers.
You might be able to work up a ladder set w/ GD's and PH's. what I did was to basically load pro hunters and gold dots side by side w/ pro hunter CFE data, moving up slowly and watch for pressure signs or MV curve reversals... now this was with my 6.5 howa bolt action and chrony, I do not know how the AR frame would work at my loadings."Down the floor, out the door, Go Brandon Go!!!!!"Comment

Same opinion for Varget. I use it for 308/300SAV/7mm08 but it isn't for the Grendel. I believe it has been discussed on the board on other threads with the consensus being the same.Comment

Thanks for the info on the barrel. Was interested with my use of the Gold Dots and XBR. I don't have a chronograph.Comment
