1,000 Yard Comparison - SST vs AMAX - LRRPF52 - 09-05-2017
Go with the 107gr SMK on top of 8208XBR or AR-Comp.
Litz BC on that bullet is much higher than we normally see attributed to it, like .461 G1, .230 G7, and you can easily get it over 2700fps from a 20-24" Grendel in most cases.
Book loads are in the 2730fps range with older powders from a 24". 2680fps from a 20" with AA2520.
I have an accuracy node at 2625fps with 8208XBR from my Lilja 318 and not even near the max charge weight.

What twist rates are you and Bwaites shooting those 107's?
Reason I ask, my Howa 20" is 1/8 and I have a box of 108 LAPUA scenar's, I also have 8208.....
Not sure if I'll waste my time and components?

Bwaites has 1/8.75" Satern/AA barrels.
I have 1/7.5 and 1/8 AA and Lilja.
I haven't tested the 107gr at 1000yds yet, but I'll have less ToF, drop, and drift than a 123gr AMAX since my mv will be 2625fps with the same BC.

I just recently got my dies to start loading the Grendel, is CFE the "go to" powder for this cartridge or are there others?

Brandi:
Do a search on powders, please. Asking what is the 'go to' powder for the Grendel is like asking what is the 'go to' bullet. There are dozens of threads on favorite powders and stickies on common Grendel loads.
