[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1516470, member: 12995"] I agree, 123 is the perfect weight/length combo for the Grendel...I shoot Nosler 123 Custom Comps in my handloads. That bullet was actually designed specifically for the 6.5 Grendel in the AR platform. I don't know of many hunting bullets in the 123 class, but there are quite a few 120 and 130 grain, which is why I mentioned up to 130. Like you said, the downside, is that it will dip into the case pretty far in the AR platform, taking up case capacity, and velocity will suffer to some degree. I would be interested in trying some 130 and 140 grain RDF bullets in the Grendel. Johnny did some testing with the 140 Hornady BTHP Match bullets, and had some good results, despite the slower velocities.
