I have a 12 inch 6.5 Grendal that has been accurate and effective at close range.
I'd really like to us my Grendal with an appropriate scope out to 400 yards.
The problem is I don't think any available factory ammo or safe reloads will keep impacts above 1800 fps past 300 yards give or take.
Does anyone have experience with any 6.5 mm projectiles in the 1600-1750fps range? I hear Nosler 129 gr LR Ballistic Tips are good to 1500 fps but I'm skeptical that will be better than an ELDM or TMK.
Before you say "use something else " yes I have a 223 but it's been finiky and I really want a pistol or SBR for a couple hunts were weight/bulk are a factor. I might be biking in or packrafting.
