30 Grendal

[garym]

I am looking for loading load data besides IMR4198
will be loading 150 - 168 gr. Bullets

PM, gunsandgunsmithing here on the site, he probably can help you out. His 30 Major data will probably get you started. Not sure why this is stuck on BOLD type, oh well.​

Go to: Robert Whitley 30 ARX page for some load data & necking Grendel Brass to 30 cal...plus reloading data, that worked for for him.

Or..just use 7.62x 39 data... case capacity is almost identical, like 2.2 grains difference... that's a place to start ...powders like CFE Blk, H322, H4895, H335, BL-C2, 1680, A2200, PP 1200-R, LT 32, RL10X, 2015, & Benchmark...with bullets up to 150 grs... Lots if options...let the fun begin.

Interesting. Who chambered your 30 grendel and are you just necking up regular 6.5 grendel brass?

We are just running standard 6:5 Grendel brass into a 7.62 x 39 die to expand the necks then loading the brass with whatever bullet we decide to use.
we also just take a regular set of 6.5 Grendel and run a carbide reamer of the correct size and open them up to thirty caliber and Put in a 30 caliber neck expander in the sizer and a 30 caliber seater stem in the other die.
we are just buying 7.62 x 39 AR barrels from Midway and rechambering them.
easy conversion and easy to reload starting with 7.62x 39 data

Nice. Will you be sharing the potential performance?

How does it compare to the 30 HRT?

A 30 Grendel is a 30 Major. Quite a bit of data can be found on here with the search function. I've done some with the mid weight bullets but most of my data is for 125 and lighter. H322 was one that worked well for me with 150s.
