I would like to get some thoughts on this combo. I purchased from Midsouth Shooters Supply the 6.5 Grendel Loader pack (100 Nosler brass cases, and 500 of the 123 match monster bullets). My plan is to use Accurate 2520 powder (I have 2#), CCI 450 primers. It looks like the charge weight is 26.5-29.5.

Wow. I didn't even know Nosler made Grendel brass.
My 20" BA DMR upper also shoots the 123 ELD very well with A2520. Sub-MOA, with 29.0 to 29.6 gr. (Worked up from 28.4 gr.)
I'd also like to hear how the Midsouth 123 gr Monster Match bullets.... which everyone says are Nosler Custom Comp, repackaged... shoot. I bought a box of 500 a few years ago. I've loaded up a few batches but not had the time to test them out yet. Hopefully this spring in the desert. I think I did some workups with similar loads to my 123 ELD loads. Don't know if they'll shoot the same, grouping and velocity wise though. Shapes (ogive, tail, etc.) must be slightly different.Last edited by SDW; 12-23-2023, 11:34 PM.Comment

Nosler makes brass and ammo for the Grendel, 120gr Ballistic tip and 129gr ABLRComment

Right. Yeah I actually looked it up right after reading that. I'd just never noticed anyone here calling out, "Hey where can I get some Nosler brass?" Or, "Midway's got Nosler brass in stock!" Maybe they have and I missed it.
It's a little expensive, from what I see. Compared to Hornady and Starline. Hope it's good. Regarding their bullets, there's also the aforementioned 123gr Custom Competition HPBT for target shooting.
Merry Christmas everyone!Last edited by SDW; 12-25-2023, 01:32 PM.Comment
