Thread: 6.5 grendel

Case dimensions:



We can see that the Grendel and 6PPC have less taper than the parent cartridge 7.62x39. They could be harder to feed, yet the Grendel works reliably in semiautos, apparently. The PPCs were designed for use in single shot bench rest rifles so feed wasn't required.

Due to differences in the case base diameters and the length to shoulder, the 7.62 won't fit into a 6.5 and the 6.5 won't fit into the 6mm. The bullet diameters will also help ! But it looks s if you could mistakenly load and fire a 6.5Grendel cartridge in a 7.62x39 rifle.
