Brief History of the 6.5 Grendel Ammo

The 6.5 Grendel was designed to be an effective STANAG magazine-length cartridge for the AR-15 platform, capable of reaching 200–800 yards and surpassing the native 5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington cartridge’s performance. To achieve this, the designers opted for a shorter, larger-diameter case that allows for higher powder volume while accommodating long, streamlined, high ballistic coefficient 6.5mm (.264 cal.) bullets.

Factory-loaded ammunition ranges from 90 to 129 grains, with muzzle velocities varying from 2,500 ft/s (129-130 grain bullets) up to 2,900 ft/s (90 grain bullets). The case head diameter matches that of the .220 Russian, 7.62×39mm, and 6.5mm PPC cases, requiring a non-standard AR-15 bolt and slightly reducing magazine capacity to 26 rounds in a standard 30-round STANAG magazine. For firearms chambered in 7.62×39, check out options like the 7.62×39 ammo or the Red Ops 7.62×39 ammo.
