[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1407262, member: 10178"] I ordered 100 rounds of Hornady 123 SST ammo to get the cases. It was much cheaper to get the loaded ammo than get the cases and bullets and powder and primers and load them myself. I like to do my load work up with cases that have been fired before because there is a great deal of difference between new and previously fired and sized cases. I will break the barrel in with the factory ammo and then work up some loads. I ordered a box of 123 SSTs and I have already 120 Nosler BTs and Sierra pro hunters and some 100 Sierra HPs. From what I have been seeing on You Tube and reading on forums it looks like I am going to have to get some ARComp powder. I have an old refrigerator as a powder locker and it is FULL but not much of what I have is what seams best in the 6.5G. I do have some H355 and Varget that some are using but none other of the powders in the ARComp burn rate. I have lots of powders on the faster and slower burn rate than what is needed for the 6.5G. I wish IMR 4895 would work because I have a bunch of it, pulled down from military ammo, and it runs right with new canister IMR 4895. I have killed a bunch of deer with the 120 BTs and Sierra Pro Hunter but I was running them 3000 fps out of a 6.5x55 Swede but even around 400 to 500ish yards they really did a great job so they should work really well out of the Grendel out to 300 yards or so.
