I have just recently started using an Alexander Arms AR15 in 6.5mm Grendel. I love it in this platform. Have any of you used this cartridge in a Contender or Encore? I will begin reloading for it as soon as I empty more brass and my dies arrive. Mingokid

You could get it in an Encore, but it is a bit much for the Contender.

Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Mingo,

I have an Encore barrel in 6.5 Grendel from MGM that I purchased earlier this year secondhand after exposure to the round in the AR platform - unfortunately load development in the pistol ranks in a long list of current reloading projects for the summer. Love the round! Hogs don't like it so much...

Dur, Is there anything you have I don't want to shoot?
