    Steelisreal liked post by Spitfire On thread : Pressure Differences - ELD-M and ELD-X
    ELD-X jackets are harder, which can push pressure up as they engrave onto the lands. It might be fine, but I would start a grain or two lower just in case.

    I've shot them out of a Grendel at goats and deer and they are very messy at Grendel speeds.

    I've just bought one of the CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel, only got a few rounds threw it, before being shut down for Coivid, the few rounds look like I may have a decent shooter, I cut it back to 18-20, but...
