Hornady Manufacturing Company develops and publishes reloading data for the Handbook of Cartridge Reloading. Occasionally, we will temporarily publish load data on this page when a bullet becomes available and is not yet listed in the latest edition of the handbook.
In developing its 6.5 Grendel load data, Sierra tested a very wide selection of propellants, 19 in all. For the 85gr to 100gr varmint bullets, modern powders such as XMR 2230, Power Pro Varmint, and Ramshot TAC offered the best velocity in the 24″ test barrel. Cartridge overall length is 2.255' and bullet diameter is.264' (6.5mm). MAP is about 42,000 psi. (The permissible MAP for the AR15/M16 action is only 45,000 psi, according to Alexander, so do not attempt to develop high-pressure loads for the 6.5mm Grendel cartridge.) The intrinsic accuracy of the 6.5 Grendel is alleged to be excellent. Sierra published comprehensive 6.5 Grendel load data, covering 19 powders and eight (8) different bullets from 85 to 130 grains. NOTE: Hornady-brand brass (see below) was used for Sierra’s 6.5 Grendel tests, not the stronger Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass. Hand-loaders using Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass may need to adjust their loads.

This volume is the first of a short series dedicated to enabling quality reloading of the 6.5 Grendel in AR-15 Rifles. Volume 1 is a brief synopsis of the origins and development history plus commercial sources of Grendel rifles and ammunition. The Grendel is rapidly proving to be an excellent deer and medium game hunting cartridge. The handbook presents a quasi-analytic discussion of why. The handbook also discusses the SAAMI-specified 6.5 Grendel chamber as well as chambers Grendel factory ammunition is used in even though at slight variance with the standard. We also present a short tutorial about the AR-15 gas-operated mechanism. included handloading data from four significant commercial sources.
