Got a Ruger Ranch w 16.2 " barrel , i was just shooting break in rounds 123gr PPU HP XBR 24 GR just for ease of loading. I was able to hit the 500m tgt no issues. I took it out again and a friend was shooting the same updated RAR in .223, after watching me he started asking a lot of pointed questions about the round. I mentioned I liked it so much I purchased a 6.5 Gren in the PREDATOR model 22" vs 162 " barrel is the major dif . After even more questions It looks like I will be swapping my Ranch for something interesting. Boy what fun now i have to wait for IRUNGUNZ to deliver next month....

How’s that Leverevolution and Sierra combo working?

 

[mark k]

I had great accuracy with the XBR and both the 123gr SST and the 120gr Nosler BT. Velocity was just below 2300fps out of my Ruger American Ranch.

IMR 4198 w/ 90gr Nosler Varmageddon is working well, AR Comp w/ 123gr ELDm, and IMR 8208xbr w/ 120gr Nosler BT in Howa Mini

My howa likes 130 Berger ar hybrids and 8208.
It seems to favour heavy bullets.
I’ve shot this load at the 900 yard f class targets and shot in the high 60 and low 70s.

What's the allure of Grendel in a bolt gun?

What's the allure of Grendel in a bolt gun?

It's an amazingly accurate little cartridge that hits way beyond it's size and fits in mini sized actions. What's not to like? Crushes a .223 without breaking a sweat.

What's the allure of Grendel in a bolt gun?

Ideal quad gun, short and handy (Ruger Ranch).

 

[todbartell]

Grendel is fun to say

 

[hifiwasabi]

I ordered some Benchmark and 120 grain Nosler BT’s. Nosler has the combo listed on their website with good velocity and accuracy, so I’m going to try to duplicate it.

I have an 18" grendel barrel and bolt and I am going to be building a 2nd upper for my renegade as a grendel. Been trying to find reloading stuff for it as I wait on restock of renegade upper kits. I think it's pretty interesting caliber and a great addition to my renegade build which is a 10" 300 blackout so a longer ranged caliber will be cool
