[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1708752, member: 10178"] In my experience loading for the 6.5 Grendel in the ARs you will run into pressure quicker with the 120 Gold Dot than with most any other cup and core bullet in the 120 to 123 gr range. I mainly use IMR 8208 and I can run a half grain more powder with them than the Gold Dot. Velocity is pretty close to the same with all bullets even through the Gold Dot is burning a half grain less. The 120 Gold Dot has been a very accurate bullet out of both of my ARs. I used it in my 20" barrel rifle at 2550 fps using 28 grs IMR 8208, Hornady case, CCI 450 to kill a deer at 111 yards this past season. Deer was facing me. I placed the bullet in the center of it's chest. It devastated the chest cavity and penetration was about 20" when it exited it's belly. BANG FLOP. [/QUOTE]
