224 Valkyrie ~VS~ 6.5 Grendel

[greisdor]

Valkyrie with Starline brass - with mods like the 6BRA would be..... Also, the Valkyrie rim will fit 6.8, and Grendel bolt, and if you neck down the 24 nosler you have 223 bolt. Just a lot of possibilities.

Neck that Grendel down to 6 mm. Push the shoulder back 70 thou. Shoot about mid 60 grain pills with 1:13.5 twist. Bet it’d be a winner. .

In My predator Grendel 29.2 Grains of Varget and the 123 ELD-M bullet work best, tried TAC, 335, 4198,R-15, IMR 4895,AR Comp. Would like to try H322 someday as the Varget load is only at 2400 FPS. What powder did you finally settle on in Your LBC ?

Benchmark..

Somebody really should come out with a barrel nut system for the Howa and CZ mini Mauser actions.

Go to McGowen Barrels and they can fix you up on the Howa.

Shooting in the semi auto class against the 6 turbos and plain 243 lbc, I can asset to how well they do at 600 yards against the 6.5 Grendels. I haven’t seen a 6 fatrat yet but they are essentially a 6 turbo40. The 6mm Grendel based rounds are hard to beat. I just recieved a customized bhw 243 lbc barrel. If you can’t beat em, join em I guess.

Try some 8208. My AR and the Howa mini both shoot the 123 ELD M very well with it. The 85 gr Sierra likes H335 in both the AR and Bolt gun
