So I have a couple of 127 barnes lrx pills leftover from a 6.5 sweed project. I was going to burn them up in grendel. Does anyone have a good start point and max with 8208, cfe or h335. Thanks. Btw these will be used exclusively in a ruger bolt action. My ar doesn't like barnes. Thanks.

Don't waist the h335 or 8208 on them.
If you don't have any h4985 then start the cfe223 at 26 grains. -
I would also recommend H4895 starting at 25.0gr working up in .3gr increments over a chronograph.
CFE223 is very forgiving but you will find a max load with it with Grendel case volume under the 127gr LRX.
How far out can you load it in that action before jamming the lands?NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

If you're going to invest in a Barnes bullet for 6.5 Grendel, their new 115gr VOR-TX bullet would be the money.
Expansion threshold on that bullet is ideal for 6.5 Grendel.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

What is the minimum velocity for the new 115gr? 2,000fps?Comment

IIRC Barnes says 1500-1600 something like that."Down the floor, out the door, Go Brandon Go!!!!!"Comment
