Thanks !!! 18 years as an AF Brat, 4 years active USAF, & 50 years working Air Traffic...and I never learned how to play the song on guitar. I'ii certainly practice in case I play at the American Legion or an ALF in Northern CA.

That intro though. Had me fired up! I cleaned my chain using the regular version of Simple Green diluted 1:4 at about 60c, and it works fantastically. The chain was pretty filthy, but looks close to new now.

Use benchmark powder it will get your velocity way up ive had extremely good luck with it

Best performance on whitetail for me was the 125gr Partition, but, I love the 120 Ballistic tip and 90gr Varmageddon in my Grendel due to same point impact at 100yd - No need to re-zero before deer season (not saying you shouldn't check your zero!). I'd use the Lehigh 110gr Controlled Chaos but POI is drastically different (6" high and 2" left!). I'm trying 95gr V-max this week and hoping for same POI as the 120BT and 90 Varmageddon. Fingers Crossed!

how fast are you pushing these bullets?

Ive used a couple thousand of the small pistol primers from Argentina. The packaging is white on these and so far every one has fired. I bought them from Norma USA.

Don't use lead, just use copper. That's my view now. Fine lead particles get all through the meat, not good. So small you may not see them, or even feel them when you eat, but they are there and X-rays prove it.

Nice shot with all that wind, especially given that Partitions, though awesome for putting down prey, don't have particularly stellar ballistics.

Great shot! I know this won’t apply to custom loads but I have heard that you loose bullet speed with factory loads out of a barrel longer than 16 inches. Anyone know if this is true?

Great video. I'd offer a couple tips. Anything with a finish, even nitride, put some surgical tubing or something similar down in the bottom of your cleaner to stop the metal-metal contact. It'll eventually wear that coating off. You should even do this if you're using a basket. Also, break everything down when you clean: extractor, etc. you'll need to recoat everything with oil, all the way down to internal parts and springs. Ultrasonic cleaning with strip every bit of oil off the parts. A quick easy way to do that is to set up a second cleaner with ultrasonic lubrication oil in it and ultrasonically lubricant the parts. Just take them out and blow them off just like after you clean them. And then from there you just reapply whatever normal lubrication you use for cycling the rifle.

Thanks for taking us along on your hunting trip!

Nice job. I have a Grendel so I'm always interested.

I use the same combination 120 Nosler on Fallow, none have moved. One I thought I had missed it as it just stood there looking at me for quite a while, before keeling over it's hind legs.

What are the barrel specs? I’m using a Faxon 20” hvy fluted w/ my DA Nomad TI and having great results

What bullet and weight?...

Nice shot with that cross wind! Do you have a single or two stage CMC trigger?

I can’t help to wonder if it was a larger caliber if a follow up shot would be needed.

My grendel loves the 129 sst. My daughters loves the 123 sst.

Try using a hunting cartridge.

Is there only one manufacturer who makes 6.5 Grendel? IF more whats the best brand ?

I wished the federal fusion was easier to find.

I would be curious how the Barnes would do as well. But at that distance, I don’t think the velocity is there to open up. What were your results? Any any pass-through shots? I’m at East Coast Hunter in like through and through for blood trails.

Nice!! I'm an Air Force Vet and have been wanting to learn this song on my electric guitar! Thank you!

Pretty cool camera set up. Looks like a good time

Thank you. I have the LEM #12 and was looking at dual grind. I take it you recommend it?

I've always thought the 1000ft lb stuff was stupid. That's equal to saying a 44magnum can't kill ethically at 10ft. Stupid.

Great shot in all that wind! Thanks for sharing this!

Fricking awesome primers so far , Ive bought the 209 shotgun and the Small pistol one's by the 5k ea and ZERO hiccups ..................

120 gain 129 gain ok

Incredible performance from that 125gr Nosler Partition!

Do not make the mistake I did in buying these SA SPPs. I am very disappointed with these. Earlier this year I bought 2K of these because they were available. I tried a limited amount and had a few problems only with a revolver. I ended up ordering 4K more, thinking OK I'll only use with with only my semi autos (which had not exhibited any issues with the limited amount I had tried with them). Big mistake. With this second batch (seems even worse than 1st) I bought I have maybe 10% not go off in my STI 2011 open style gun. This is a gun with a hammer and 18lb main spring. Just today in a competition shoot, I had 4 not go off. I have had some not go off in my SVI limited gun (another hammer; not striker type gun). Oh and in my Dan Wesson revolver I estimate 25% will not go off the first time. This is in single action mode which provides more force than double action. If you use these for loads in a carry gun, you are putting your life at risk. I would not buy these if there's any chance you will be using these in a competition, unless you don't mind losing due to the ammo. I would not consider these for practice only ammo, unless they were priced less than half of a reliable brand. I have been reloading for 22 years. I have used CCI, Winchester and Federal small pistol primers in all 3 of the guns mentioned and not once experienced a failure to ignite. I also noticed the difficulty in trying to get these to flip in the primer tray. I'm guessing that the center of gravity of SA SPPs is closer to mid height than on other manufacturer's. I consider this only a small minor annoyance and is an order of magnitude less problematic than the failure to fires.

I got the same rifle same everything did you ever get rid of your rifle

Man they are fast !

I can only fine hornady sst 123 grain hope there good for whittail

What Temperature do you set it at? I have a large Sonic Cleaner that is at 160F.

That was a good shot with that wind. I'm glad to see this video as I have a very similar setup. PSA 6.5 Grendel with 20 inch stainless steel barrel. I'm waiting on my Banish 30 to be released from ATF jail 😊. Subscribed

Sounds like a good product!

As a fellow Grendel hunter I can attest to its lethality. 120 gr gold dot has been my go to projectile over a max charge of lever evolution and cci 41 or 450 primer. At 2550 velocity it's hard to keep in the animal but the ones that did mushroom perfect and retained around 90% of their weight. I also load 100 gr barnes ttsx running 2800 and 123 sst running 2540 with lever evolution as well. IMHO the best overall Ar caliber as I've got good hits over 800 yds with factory elds along with excellent on game performance. Appreciate the video and sharing the Grendel love.

Nosler etip is a better choice or similar Barnes monolithic bullets are a better choice

Nice job I love my Grendel and hunting with it in NE Wyoming

Best practical hunting cartridge for the AR-15.

Outstanding shot my freind

Wuuuuuuuuaoooooooooo that 6.5 grendel do some real DAMAGE great video

Way too high

They have harder cups . In a stock P-01 and custom Sp-01 with lighter springs they fire with no problems . I adjusted my XL750 to fully seat them. In my P365 XL, I got about 5% light strikes even after adjusting the press. Haven’t tried a Glock yet. Practice only. Would not use for competition.

Please do a video on your Nosler load developement

125gr Nosler Partition needs 20" or longer barrel to get 2500+fps in a Grendel. I think it is a great projectile way better for hunting than the Hornady 123gr stuff. The 100gr Nosler Partition can get performance like 100gr Partition does in shorter barreled 243's

Just gave you a sub. Best of luck!

Don’t use a Nosler Ballistic tip period if you want to ethically kill deer Antelope ect. Your dumb dumb dumb if you hunt with anything like a ballistic tip ELDX type bullet. Use at minimum a good old cup and core with a thick jacket or a bonded bullet. Did you see what happened on that entrance hole ? Let me guess there was no bullet recovered because it blew up and did not pass through the animal? So what would happen if you had the wind blow that bullet into the shoulder? That’s right no penetration and a horrible wound that will not kill that animal for weeks. It’s stupid to use those bullets period!

God I love the Grendel
