6.5 Grendel: 123 SST over 28.2gr 8208-XBR. 2.250” OAL, federal 205 gold medal match primers. Hornady brass. 2550 feet per second out of a 24” stainless barrel. These are more accurate than their 123gr ELD-M brother. These are good for pulling double duty as a long range pill and a hunting bullet. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Have shot these out to 600 yards with very reliable repeatability. I plan to move back to 1000 yards as soon as I find a safe place to shoot that far. 6.5 Grendel hunting bullet all the way.

Hornady bullets have always performed excellent in all calibers I’ve loaded. These were no different . Loaded for 6.5 Grendel and can cover three round group with a quarter at hundred yard target . I would definitely recommend to others

My favorite for 6.5 Grendel. Opticsplanet has a great price and fast shipping. Way faster than Amazon. Always had good luck with Hornady. Only disappointment is to leave this review the website kept prodding for more text in review. Now that's BS.

These are accurate and deadly on hogs and whitetail deer. I use an AR rifle with a 20" heavy fluted barrel and push these at 2500 fps. Not much more to say except I hope reloading components become easier to get.
Pros:
Hornady quality.
Cons:
N/A
Best Used for:
Hunting and target shooting.
Would recommend: Yes

Great hunting bullet for the money. Shoot well. Have them all caliber rifles I hunt with. Have not been disappointed with them thus far. Very nice exit wound. These 123gr shoot very flat in my grendel.
