[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1439442, member: 10178"] Get you some 120 Sierra Pro Hunter bullets and IMR 8208, CCI 450 or BR-4 primers and work up to a max load of 28.5 grs with a COAL between 2.250 and 2.260 test to see which shoots best for your rifle. I have two different make barrels and this load shoots the best in both. I have not killed a deer yet with the Grendel because I just got into them this February but I have killed quite a few with the 120 Sierra Pro Hunter in a 6.5x55 Swede at pretty long range where the bullet has slowed down to Grendel speeds and it does a wonderful job. IMR 8208 seems to not have pressure spikes with change in weather temps like CFE223 does or for the matter any ball powder. I am using Hornady cases. There is load data on the web for free. Sierra bullets has it, and Speer bullets, Nosler bullets, Barnes bullets. Also on the Grendel forum you can order their loading books which will give you the Grendel story as well as a bunch of load data. When you decide on the specific bullet you want to use I can probably give you a list of data for it from what I have put together. [/QUOTE]
