6.5 Grendel loads

Does anyone here load for this caliber? If so what is your chosen load? What is the accuracy and velocity performance? Thanks.

I haven't been loading for the Grendel very long. My favorite load so far is:

Lapua Brass, CCI #41 primers, Sierra 107 gr. MKs, and 1/2 grain less than Alexander Arm's listed max of Western TAC powder. C.O.A.L. 2.260.

This load gives me around 1/2 moa and starts out at 2670 fps. from a 26" bbl.
in an AR type rifle.

Have fun but be safe.

I'm new to the Grendel as well. I've found this site to be very helpful in case you haven't seen it yet.
