Quite impressive by anyone’s standards. No doubt an extremely capable round but I suspect you would be changing out the barrel with every magazine change. Well not quite but I’m sure you get my drift.

Centreway have the ammo in stock, give em a ring on pricing.
I'm putting up a Sporter 6.5 Grendel Howa Mini (22inch barrel) black stock (2lb trigger) this weekend on used guns. Fired not a lot of rounds maybe 400, will have 100 piece of brass thrown in for a reloader, bases included. $575 posted

I’m still working up loads for the CZ. But it shooting extremely well. I won’t be surprised if it ends up being the most accurate gun I own.
I also bought the 200 round Hornady American Gunner ammo for $235 for 200. I paid more for empty brass when I started reloading 6.5 Grendel.
Bill wrote:Hey shootermick, no I bought another grendel but a heavy barrel, love the round. Performance is like a 243 or 250 savage just with a lot less noise and fuss.
the Grendel is a range bitch and easy to smack the steel plates at 300 and 400m
