6.5 GRENDEL vs 6.8 REM SPC
Looking for a midrange (200-400yd) to acquire, and I have read all about the 6.5 GREN, but looking at the data it seems the 6.8SPC is very similar, anyone wanting to chime in with 2cents..........
Platform would probably be a CZ527 for either Coyotes, PD's and paper mainly...... Don |

Why? Why better down range? Subjective or objective?

Thank you for posting this. While it really highlights my question at the 200-500yds ranges, it does solve the question the same way that the 223 or 9mm solves the questions in their related genre's -- POPULARITY = LOWER COST !! THE GRENDEL IS MORE POPULAR AND LESS EXPENSIVE FOR THE SAME PERFORMANCE Oh, and YES, it also drifts a little less as well. Too many choices, to little $$$$$ John, Thanks also for your loading info--- I am probably going with the 527 6.5 GRENDEL - What I am surprised about is that CZ is not offering this in their Varmint barrel seems it would be more stable and cooler........ I guess it means another new barrel !!!!! Thanks again Don Last edited by varmntr; 10-04-2017 at 02:52 PM. |

I am currently in Alberta Moose hunting, see my report here.
One of the other hunters was hunting with a 6.5 Creedmore on Remington 700 Action. He did not get a moose. I definitely would have like to see how it performed on that animal. By subjective comparison only, I saw how my 338/06 IMP with a Sierra 250 Game King at 2950 fps with Lake City ball cases performed on a moose. I have shot a lot of deer and an Elk with it. I would not consider any 6.5 or 6.8 for moose. Yes, I know the Swedes love there 6.5 for moose. The 6.5's and the 6.8 are good deer cartridges. I have just ordered a new Stag Arms 6.8 SPC bull barrel upper that I intend to set up for Coyotes.

For me it has always come down to wind drift at distance, therefore the 6.5G.
Or in my case, 6mmFatRat. My load is 95SMK/pointed/.5BC, going 2870 fps in a 22" 8 twist. You'd have to see how well it does, almost a 243Win in the wind. Recoil and rifle movement isn't much more than a 223 as well. With a 6mmART40 which is very similar to the FatRat, I won a long range night match shooting against bolt rifles in the better long range bolt rifle calibers. That shows the capabilities of this small cartridge case. Last edited by steve123; 12-25-2017 at 03:33 PM. |

double d don't let the size of the barrel throw you. I have a 6.8 spc II with a fn barrel, it is not a varmint weight. it shoots most everything under .5" including 95 ttsx Barnes bullets.
I thought cz produced some of the 6.5 grendells in the 527
