    No. I don't see the point. So much so that I haven't looked into whether subsonic expanding 6.5 projectiles even exist. As fas as I know/care they don't.
    Resident 6.5 Grendel aficionado.

    I spoke to Rob (who makes the cast bullets).
    He said 6.5cal is too small to practically do subsonics, and that there wasn't too many mold options.

    He at least used to do 7mm cast bullets.
