Welcome to the forum norseman. The Hornady 123 grain SST, 120 grain Sierra Pro Hunter, Speer 120 grain Gold Dots, 129 grain SST and Nosler 129 grain Accu Bond Long Range (ABLR) are popular. Today you might have to use whatever powder and primers you can find.
Popular powders for the 6.5 Grendel.
AR Comp, Benchmark, IMR8208XBR, H4895, TAC, Accurate 2520, LeverRevolution, CFE223, Power Pro Varmint.
There are many other popular powders which work well with the 6.5 Grendel. I use CCI 450 and CCI 41 primers the most in my AR-15s. The thicker cups resist slam fires with the AR-15 floating firing pin.
