Should work. I've been thinking of rebarreling a 6 ppc for that cartridge, just to try it out. - dan
I really like the cartridge Dan - Very MILD to shoot ! Mines in a Howa 1500 MINI std weight 22" barrel - Shoots pretty good too ! RJ
I like the looks of those, though I've never had the opportunity to fire one. Howa has made good rifles for a long time now. - dan
There OK ! Cheap Mass Produced BUT Functional ! The trigger's need to be fixed up - I polished mine up and installed a lighter spring so its Pretty good Now ! The stock fits OK but its HEAVY ! Kinda Clubish ! - I want the new Carbon Fibre stock for mine as soon as its avail . Mine weights exactly 7 lbs with a 4-12 Elite 3500 in Talley LW rings - RJ
Playing with the HOWA Mini 1500 6.5 Grendel again - Loading Speer 120 gr Gold Dot bonded bullets up over CFE223 and CCI450 sparkers - running 3/4 - 1 MOA and 2550 fps at 100 meters ! RJ

KOOL and what COAL are you using with your loads TB ? RJ
go on rub it in....... i was in the market for the 6.5 grendal, it was on the list of Youth cartridges for Deer,,,,... others were the 300blk, no comparison an the the 7.62x39 in a modern bolt gun...
for whats goin on, i think we made the right choice, however i do like the little Grendel , its just that bit harder to feed down under, an thats a cause for concern with me.
good thread, would be nice to see some grendel deer photos.
