    Nosler bullets - weight preference?

    If you had the choice of a large box Nosler 123 gr Custom Competition (HPBT) bullets, or Nosler 100 gr CC bullets for 6.5 Grendel, which would you personally pick, and why?

      if they are reasonable buy both but the 123 is the best choice over 27.5. gr of AR comp or 27.5 gr of 8208 start testing at 26 gr

        Nosler 100 gr CC bullets

        I like to go fast; and I shoot at 300 yards or less.

          Were you able to make Nosler 100 gr shoot well? Seems like a lot of people have struggles with it.

            I have not had more than one opportunity to shoot for groups at a bench with them, but they shot well for day one. I think for the day my average was about 1.5 MOA; 50 to 300 yards with a little wind 5 to 10 mph. Then Covid, rifle range closures, hunting season, holidays, ect...

              I just purchased 1000 123g CCs. With 31.4g CFE I'm sub MOA out of my 16 inch AR. I haven't stretched them to distance yet, but seems like a good start

                I honestly think it depends on the particular throat. My 12.5" BA doesn't like the 100's, but it isn't a true SAAMI chamber despite their claims.
