Need reloading info for 6 Grendel

[Dr. Jay]

I need some reloading info for a 6mm Grendel i am building. It is on a Panda action, 1-12 twist and 80 grain bullets will be used? I am thinking maybe Benchmark or N-135, any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

IMR 8208 XBR seems to be the hot setup in 6 Grendel’s (243LBC) with 95 Sierra MK and 9 or 8 twist barrels. Some other ideas might be found here.

The 6mmAR is the same basic cartridge.

BM, N135 and 8208 all work well. Mine prefers 8208 with 80's. I had some BM was was lights out good but it seems to have slowed some of late.

Isn't a 1-12 twist a little slow for the 80 grainers?

XBR and TAC have worked awesome for me.YMMV ( One hole groups with TAC )

1-12 is the best for 80gr. Match made in heaven

I will be soon shooting a 6 grendel. Waiting for custom die's so i can make a dummy round then i can get a reamer made that is not for an auto, as i shoot bolt mini howa. I found a thousand pack of jeff Fowler match bullet's. 66 grain. Got a 13.5 twist Krieger.
