6.5 GRENDEL COYOTE LOAD

[LTCFA]

I have been using Sierra 85 grain bullets with AA2460. Sierra has discontinued the 85 grain bullet. The next light bullet is the Speer 90 grain and then the 100 grain Sierra. Does anyone have a load for either of these bullets they would care to share?

I shoot the 90 tnt with both benchmark and h-335, as always work up your own safe load for your rifle but around 30 grains of either powder should get what your looking for. Start lower and work up, I would recommend magnum primers because I couldn’t keep standard primers from flattening early

Don't forget the Nosler 90 grain Varmageddon. When I had mine, I stuck to Benchmark.

I have a Grendel upper. PSA.. I got it after I sold my BAR in 243. I used TAC powder on my reloads. Last Spring I got 9 lbs of 8208, similar burn rate.

I shoot the 90 TNT and the 95 VMAX. Don't remember exactly but around 28-30 grains of Benchmark on both. And they both work good on coyotes. And on pigs too.

FYI, you can still buy the 85gr from Sierra's website under the discontinued bullets section.

I don't have a Grendel (I'm working on that) but the 95 grain V-Max has been very accurate in other 6.5s I shoot.

Howa mini action 30.5 benchmark w90 tnt at 2825fps is awesome for coyotes
