The projectiles were designed and produced in house.
In looking at AP natures for Grendel, we have examined a number of different geometries and obviously material types. The 125 grain mentioned is a simple core type design and indicates the potential for such projectiles in the 6.5 caliber. As expected the high sectional density is a good starting point.
Moving forwards we are looking to two bullet types. Those who have followed my work know that I am not enamoured of single application target specific projectiles and would prefer a good GP type. This forms the basis of the first study. Simple production route with enhanced ability against battlefield targets is the design goal. Two general layouts are being worked on.
The second route is a specific AP type, but extending the ability beyond the 125g nature. I aim to be capable against ESAPI to ranges of 500 meters.
