Don’t get stuck on the “6.5 Grendel” chambering in itself. There also is the .264 LBC, their both one in the same they just have a slightly different throat Spec. That’s just a technicality. Ammo is completely interchangeable. I have shot thousands of factory Hornady 6.5 Grendel ammo through BlackHole 1-8 twist .264 LBC Barrels. I’ve also shot allot of Precision Firearms .264 LBC ammo through 6.5 Grendel barrels.

The .264 LBC chambering is extremely accurate.







16” Rifle length gas .264 LBC. “Hammer Flare Contour”.



6x45 (Top)
.264 LBC (Bottom)



If you were going to hunt deer, varmints and punch paper at distance. Hands down I would go with a .243 LBC/ Grendel any day. A 95gr bullet at 3000fps out of a 22 inch barrel is a killer and flat!

.243 LBC

wow !! That is very accurate. I’m planning on using the Grendel for blacktail deer, shots from 50 to 250 yards would probably be the max. Should work out nicely!! Those rifles are Sweet!!

Well, I bought a PSA 20' upper, should be here at the end of the week. I get a couple different ammo types and see how it does! Any ammo suggestions?

Hornady 123gr SST's.

Seems like Reloading might be the way to go , not finding a lot of options locally for ammo.

Factory 123 sst shoot good in both of mine. The bulk 123 bthp shoot good also. Sportsmans has them for a good deal and once you shoot em up, your barrel should be broke in and you can reload them.
