[QUOTE="Lonehill, post: 1230301, member: 97423"] I read a ton over on 6.5 grendel forum. That's what sold me on the cartridge and subsequent build. Was running the SST's mainly because I got a steal on 10 boxes I believe around $16/ box. They are very accurate out of my 20" barrel and chronied around 2650 fps (mine must be faster than the norm?).Was mainly purchasing for the brass. Looked great on paper and heard stellar reviews, but I will never launch another at a mature buck. I also purchased a 100 ct of Lapua brass and some Redding dies, but after my experiences, I kinda lost interest. The round is a really neat concept, highly efficient, but to me it's a niche I don't need to fill. I don't know what all the hype is about. What bullet would you recommend? With the right bullet, it may get resurrected down the road. I've since discovered the 257 Wby which is a perfect fit for my whitetail needs, but would love to run the 6.5 on some hogs. Imho, Grendel is too much for coyotes too little for deer but should be excellent on hogs. [/QUOTE]
