Odin works 18" 6.5 grendel barrel

[Dildobaggins]

So I ordered an 18" Odin works barrel, adjustable gas block, and BCG combo, (Probably going to use an AP adjustable gas block.) Chambered in 6.5 Grendel. Unfortunately, I don't handload...and the whole pandemic thing doesn't help. Just wondering what everyone shoots out of theirs that gives good results? Looking for target rounds as well as hunting rounds for whitetail. So far I have found some hornady black, and Alexander Arms 120gr Nosler BT. The black is for target, but ive seen people on threads say they have dropped deer with it. Any suggestions? thanks everyone. Also, thanks for the suggestions on the barrel. Much appriciated.

It’s all about bullet placement, but would surely suggest 120gr Nosler BT for hunting purposes, and the AG for barrel break in and sorting out your gas, etc. Don’t normally buy factory, but have shot some AG with solid results for accuracy. That said, there are other, and perhaps more available, choices for hunting from Hornady (123gr SST) and Federal (120gr Gold Dot Fusion).

that makes me feel better. I talked to a buddy today that said he used OTM in 6.5 for deer last year. Didnt have any issues..

Hornady American Gunner. I’ve read that Hornady Black is just relabeled AG...

I bought some American Gunner and hornady black eld etc back in march. It was still available till about 2 months ago and now its also unobtanium unless paying through the nose... haven't taken any deer/pigs with it but that was the plan. Rounds are different between the AG and ELD as the eld has a red tip. I'm not sure if I purchased match or not... forgot what I paid but 400 rounds of eld and 400 AG was $670 delivered here in NC w/ tax. Last price I saw for eld that was available online, it was up a good 30%.
