6.5 Grendel velocities on a Benchrest action/Gun

[ALBULLET]

Just wondering what speed can be expected from the little 6.5 Grendel with 108-130g bullets from a good benchrest action ...I have seen several AR reported velocities.

Thanks

Thanks Mac .. Looks like the 123g may push 2850fps if loaded on the upper node... The 130 & 140 have great BC but too much lead for that little case... .527BC not bad on the 123g Lupua.

Scotty,

Granted this was not a benchrest action but in a Ruger No. 1 I was getting ave 2775fps with the 123 Amax and 2770fps with the Sierra 123MK, both with Vit N530.

Thanks Leeman,
I would think we could push them little hotter in a BR action. Never had a #1 Ruger but I have friends who love them.
Not saying hotter is better, just faster.
Thanks again

123 amax is a good bullet. Ive always wanted to try the 123 lapuas too... however 123gr bullets shoot the best for me out of any grain wise..
