    Just got back from 6days hunting with the 6.5 Grendel. The Factory Hornady Blacks with the 123 ELD-M did the business.
    1x Fallow Spiker at 30m, 4x Goats between 30-300m.
    Wife had her 7mm08 as support, have fired them both 1 after the other, and they are chalk and cheese. 7mm08 doesnt have much recoil, 6.5g has next to zero recoil and is a tonne more fun to shoot!

    Would be suprised if you get 2500fps out of 16in, im only getting 2350-2400 out of 20in...

    I'm getting 2505fps average with Hornady 123gr factory ammo out of a 17" barrel, so yeah maybe 30+ fps slower per inch, rule of thumb.
