BCA 6.5 GRENDEL AT RANGE

[k4ylr]

I have yet to get my BCA barreled gun to the range. Is there a local source for the wolf ammo?

It's a pain finding any 6.5 Grendel on the shelves. I was hoping to stock up on Hornady Black when Academy was clearing out that line; Got loads of creedmoor but no Grendel to be found. I usually buy all my ammo online whenever there's a free shipping + % off from Brownells. If I'm in a pinch I usually get it from SGA since shipping is literally next day.

Not sure if it's a good deal, but someone posted this link a few days ago:
https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting...ady-american-gunner-bulk-rifle-ammo/p/1487339

6.5 Grendel, 200rnds, BTHP, 123gr, $139.99
Free shipping for $50 or more, but I believe they charge tax.

6.5 Creedmore (BTHP 140gr) and 300 AAC Blackout (HP 125gr) are the same price.

AmmoSeek is another good option if you just want to be bombarded by options.

Something worth noting. That scope is listed as having a BDC reticle, not a MIL or MOA reticle so you will have to figure out what each hold over mark corresponds to with whatever load your shooting since they aren't evenly spaced.

I ran a ballpark calc and if you zero'd at 50 yards, assuming 0.4BC and ~2600fps you would still need to come down ~1 MOA to be POA/POI at 100 yards. After that you'd go back to having to hold over about 3 MOA per 100 yards out.

The paperwork with scope says it’s calibrated for 2,4,6,8 MOA?

I got a couple boxes of the black at academy. I just want enough to start reloading. I’d like 100 rounds or so. I think it was 19.95 at academy
