CCI - 450 primers
Accurate 2520

Re: looking for a good grendel load
Check out the Grendel forum... http://www.65grendel.com/forum. Seems like most of us are using 2520 at the present, but I know a few (myself included) that are interested in finding something a bit more temperature stable. Right now I'm barking up the IMR 8208 XBR tree... we'll see if it gets me where I wanna be velocity wise...

I started using A2520 and 123gr AMax and Scenars. I had some temp sensitivity problems with 2520 and when the temp would go up my groups would open up. I have sense switched to IMR 8208XBR and have been VERY happy. Went from .75" groups to .45-.65" groups.
19" AA Shilen upper
Lapua brass
28.4 IMR 8208XBR
123 Scenar
CCI 450m
This is in the upper limits of pressure. Start 10% low and work up.
Until that day,

Re: looking for a good grendel load
Yes, also very interested in hearing about the XBR velocity. AA2520 is fast, but I can't get it to shoot accurate groups in my G.
thanks

Sorry guys, was out of town for a few days.
I'm getting 2538 fps (10 shot average) with my Chrony Beta.
This is with a 19.5 barrel, not one of the longer tubes.
I have found that living here in Alaska that the 8208 XBR is more temp stable than 2520 but do get a little opening up when warmer. Now to be more clear, the temps I'm talking about are 15-50 degrees f. Not some of that nastiness some of you guys shoot in outside in the world.
It did get hot enough last week that I was getting mirage off the ground and I shot horrible groups at 250 yds (ie: 2 MOA). I know nothing about mirage and am reading up on how to deal with it. But that is for another thread.
