[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1611728, member: 11960"] As fond as I am of the 6.5 Grendel in a short barreled bolt action, the performance isn't even in the same league as case like the 260/Creedmoor/Lapua cases in a similar length barrel, let alone any of the short mags. I've shot a lot of different 130gr bullets from my 19" barreled CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel I had built and 2450 fps is getting into the upper limit with most of them. The 140s are just too long to even bother with. As stated earlier, the 6.5x284/'06/PRC sized cases will hit 2900-2950 fps in a 22" barrel with a 140gr bullet and the SAUM/SS/WSM cases will go over 3000 fps with the same bullet in the same length barrel. You have to really push the little Grendel to hit 2500 fps with a 130gr bullet in a 19" bolt action, a 140 in a 22" barrel might hit 2450 fps in the right action. [/QUOTE]
