Is anyone using the Grendel at the National Matches at Camp Perry?
I live about thirty minutes away and would love to see how they are doing with it! Grendel all the way!

I am not competitive in High Power anymore but did shoot my Grendel a couple weeks ago in a 800 agg match. Shot just fine at 200 and 300 and had huge problems at 600 due to very difficult wind conditions. 123 Lapua at about 2500 fps is what I can get out of it safely from my Match Rifle gas gun. Reminded me of the days shooting M-14's with the old 168 grain Match loads. Constantly cranking windage every time you saw even the slightest change in mirage or wind flags. And constantly losing points I wouldn't have lost shooting a 6 AR. LR1955

It's my desire to shot my new 20" 6.5 Grendel AR next season. I'm not a barn-burner trickshot or anything like that so I just go to shoot the match and try to get a Personal Best each time I do a match.

Look at CFE223 with the 107gr SMK or 108gr Scenar. I think you will be surprised with what speeds you can get. I'm getting a very comfortable 2550fps from a 16" with 123gr A-MAX with that powder. I started to see slight signs of departure in the mid 2600fps region.

My LGS has plenty of CFE but no 6.5 bullets!
thankfully, I have a bunch of 120's to start building loads but I need to find those 107 SMKs! Bruce

My 20 inch Alexander Arms barrel seems to prefer loads around 2450-2550 fps with various 123 grain bullets. Great for practical rifle matches on steel out to 600 yards where fast shooting, and low recoil are advantages. There are other cartridges I would use when shooting on paper with generous times to complete the shot string.
