6.5 Grendel 120g Nosler Ballistic Tip Loaded Ammo - Alexander Arms 120g Nosler ballistic tip loaded into Hornady brass for light game hunting. Box of 20. Our gelatin is calibrated with a BB at 590 fps and performed at 50 yards. Impact velocity rather than muzzle velocity is recorded. Impact velocity of the 120g Nosler ballistic tip was 2355 FPS and exited the gelatin at 18 inches. Tests should be considered indicative rather than definitive.
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
Designed by Bill Alexander in 2003, the 6.5 Grendel is based on the 7.62X39mm case necked down to take a 6.5mm bullet. Designed for the AR platform, the intent was a military cartridge that would provide greater knockdown power than the 5.56X45mm. As with the several other potential replacements for the 5.56X45, the 6.5 Grendel has not found favor with the military, but with a 123-grain .264-inch bullet at 2610 fps it has a following in the AR community as an accurate and effective medium-range hunting cartridge. Conversion of existing ARs to 6.5 Grendel is a simple matter of swithcing out an upper receiver.
