6.5 Grendel Load Data

[KnotRight]

I got a couple 100 Grendel cases and started looking in the Hornady 10th Edition reloading manual and there is not data. Which manual are you using to load the 6.5 Grendel? All the guy wanted was about 50 loaded rounds for the cases. I got some data from the Hodgdon website. I was going to trim the case but data on line shows the case trim length from 1.514 to 1.520.

What’s the bullet, weight and powder?

Hornady 123 ELD, maybe 8202, H4895 or H335

I didn’t read your post right & missed you were only looking for trim length.
If it helps, I measured 4 pieces of brand new Lapua brass, they measured between 1.513” to 1.516”.

Have you tried priming any of the Grendel Lapua yet? I started reaming new brass because so tight.

Never had an issue with three batches. I use CCI 41 primers that have a thicker brass cup as well.
