Thread: 6.5 grendel

+1 on what Gibo is saying. If you don't already reload save the money and buy some reloading gear, you will easy be able to stretch the legs of your 7mm08. Off the top of my head I don't think the grendel would be reliable at 500m

Yep 6.5G a waste of time if you want to kill deer at 500 yards.

I have a 15" 708 running 140gr nosler ballistic tips at 2720 fps. It holds over 1000 ft lbs and over 1800 fps to 575 yards.

Whilst I have other rifles that I'd take if I knew I'd be shooting 500 yards, I'd quite confidently take a 500 yard shot at a deer with the 15" 708 if I had too.

My 7mm08 is your basic rem 700 adl chopped to 16" and fitted with a suppressor. currently shooting the whitetail hornady factory loads but she loves them. 1/4 moa at 100

Mines just a shitty old 2nd hand rem model 7, chopped and canned.

Hand loading let's you run different powders that gain velocity back in the short barrel. I'm using cfe223.
