6.5 Grendel Drop Chart - Demonstrated and Explained 

You gotta love 6.5 Grendel. Great hunting caliber in a small package. Took a speed goat at 451 yards last year and he didn't go far at all. Whitetail and hogs can just hang it up. Fun one to watch.

Enjoying learning about this little hot rod of a caliber with the man WHO TEE WHO. MISSED several videos lately due to more kidney troubles. Hope the family and all your fans are doing good. Have a great bing bang week to you all. God bless. 🎥💯👍🙏🏻

Great 6.5 grendel. Thanks 🙏 for dropping comparisons.

Thank you :) I am getting a upper for my rifle and this is going to be a great option! :) Be well

I’m glad you used the Hornady SST’s. I just bought 200 rounds of it. Good to know. Thanks!

I had a AR platform of the 6.5 Grendel built. I love it. using a sig optic and at a 100 yards with ten round mag, I took the entire red bullseye off the target. very pleased. 200 yards I'm at a 1/4in shot group. it's a hell of a rifle and I'm very happy with it

It's a great round, thanks for the videos !

Enjoyed the video as always look forward to them love the 6.5 Grendel

Another really fun and informative video. Thanks

Awesome round. Never shot one. Good learning curve for us old timers.

Another awesome video WTW! Thanks for sharing brother!🤘🏽

Hey Who Tee, a tip for more precise ballistics math, if you _can_ find the numbers for a G7 B.C. you'll want to use _those_ vs the older than sin G1 model numbers! G1 can't account for things like boat-tail bullets as it was designed based off old flat base artillery and mortar shells way back in WW1.

I missed the live chat tonight since I was at a monthly concealed carry workshop tonight. Working on my pistol shooting skills.

Depends on barrel length as well. I've got a howa mini in 6.5 grendel 18" barrel drops 3.2 at 200 and 11.6 at 300. My AR grendel has a 24" barrel it drops 2.3 at 200 and 9.0 at 300 with the same ammo 123g sst.

Thanks for another great video W.T.W. Wonder how it would be with a 50 yard zero.

Your dead on with my results out of the exact model Ruger.

Who-tee - Break down and buy a chronograph so you don't have to rely on the box velocity which is probably fudged a bit. Caldwell makes one that's pretty cheap, I know because I'm a super-cheapskate and even I have one! Love you videos, keep it up brother. 👍

Love the who tee who song. 👌🏻💪🏻

Thanx, my friend...got an upper in 6.5 Grendel..plus I've got dies..

Nice shooting there bud , cool video

Computer models lie, your measurements on paper don’t! I was expecting more drop too, but you found what you found! What a cool cartridge!

I actually bought my first ruger american because of your videos ... actually 2 of them

Thanks for the info. Good job!

Really glad you're doing the math! Ruger American in just about any Cal you have just work. Thanks WTW

great info! thanks for sharing!

Finishing my Savage this week and will immediately pick up a predator...love the Rugers

Great stuff! 👍

Very interesting info thank u sir!!

I’m sure it’s been covered many times but would be nice to see an explanation of sighting in using Mia vs mil spec

The 6.5 grendel is one of my favorites to shoot, unfortunately the range I use is limited to 100yds..

I have one on order, I also have a predator in 6 creedmore, ruger makes great firearms

Great fun I would like to see comparison with 6mm grendel and 6mm arc my buddy says he zero at 1in high at 100 yd or zero at 150yd and no hold needed out to 300

Shooting 2.015" (1.92MOA) high at 100 is pretty close to the 2.12MOA dial-in recommended in your chart for 200 yards. That comes out to a little more than 0.4" low at 200 and you got 0.6". I would say the chart is accurate.

You were almost sighted in at 200. Should have put a 200 yard zero in the Calc and seen if it put your 100 yard poi correctly

Have you tried 9mm and 45 acp? The claim is 9mm 115 grain fmj only drops 4" at 100 yards. I was shooting a stump one day at 100 yards with a 9mm and could make impacts by simply holding on the soda can we placed on top. The stump would not fall using 9mm so I switched to 45. The first shot impacted 5 feet in front of the stump. The eventual hold over was something like 6 feet. Once impacted by the 230 grain fmj the stump rocked back then fell forward. It took 8 tries.

6.5 Grendel is the next AR upper that I am wanting.

What was the barrel length used on the box and what is the barrel length on your Ruger? Thanks.

Another cool video. 😎 Thanks 👍 😊

I would check the speed on a chrono, when I shot it in a bolt gun it was faster than what they said on the box by almost 100fps.

Great video

I just need to buy a barrel and I’m not sure if I should do a 6.5g or a 6 ARC. I should mention I reload. Anybody got some guidance?

This is why any rifle I hunt with I always sight in one to two inches high at 100 because you will always either be dead on or less than a inch low at 200 and only six to eight inches low at 300 in which allows you to do dead on hold your animal every single time. You're catching your bullet more in the rise when you're sight in high at but if you put that Grendel dead on at 100 and do it again you'll be four to five inches low at 200.

I prefer the BEOwulf actually. 450 Bushmaster next/tie 7mm Rem Mag. Never tried 458. But your playing w high dollar rarefied ammo too. Light your Cubans w hundreds.

Good looking setup.

Can I ask what app you use for ballistic calculator

Hunting deer in North East maybe sometimes black bear what caliber would you recommended 6.5 cm/gr , 6.5 PRC , 243Win , or maybe even 270Win , 7mm-08 . I do most of my hunting now with Savage220 slug love it , I do have a 30-06 but it does damage a lot of meat so I stop hunting with it. To much for Whitetail in my opinion ...

Thanks

A video that I would love to see if you haven't done it yet is a clay block/water jug shooting comparison between .223 and .308

Well that's why I like to always recheck my 0 at the temperature when I'm hunting Have Noticed impact differences at different temperatures and different elevations

After 4 months or longer of waiting here in Arkansas my local gun shop finally got som Hornady Black eld math ballistic tip 123 gr . I bought my rifle and asked if they had any Ammo they said no , so i said no worry's ill find some , Boy i had no idea how hard it was going to be to find .

6.5 grendal is scarce here in part of Oklahoma I live in its easier pulling chickens teeth than trying to find 6.5 grendel ammo

Keep up the good work

Love my Grendel with SST ammo

Love my 18inch 6.5 Grendel Nosler ABLR 129gr 🔥🦌 Drop

thanks

What’s the rifling rate of twist on that Ruger?

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet or not. But how about Grendel vs Creedmoor paper plates? Great video as always WhoTeeWho! Catch ya on the next one

You do any shooting of the 444 Marlin? Maybe 444 vs 45-70?

Hey, how you doing. I was wondering if you had any dealings with Bear Creek Arsenal. I’ve been looking at the 18” fluted heavy barrel, and same in 20” chambered in 6.5 Grendel. I noticed BCA seems to have a lot of feeding issues in 6.5 Grendel, and .350 Legend. Also do you see much difference in barrel length and accuracy. Any thoughts?

Thank you 😊

Thanks 👍👍

I've been interested in the Grendel along with the arc. Curious if the difference in drop is due to barrel length? I didn't see barrel length called out in your calculations and seeing the Grendel also runs in the AR platform, maybe it was set to 16" and the ruger is longer? Just guessing.

I've never had much luck with 6.5mm sst bullets, that's just my experience with them in my Ruger American 6.5 creedmoor.

Not to get off subject but what happened to the video that wtw put up yesterday about getting scammed on the swamp buggy did you tube demonize it cause I don't see it anywhere?

An ar in this caliber is on my wish list!

I just learned about barrel twist rates boolot weight and length and boolot stability today. What's the twist rate of that Ruger American? And what do you think the best twist rate is for a 130g 6.5 grendal?

Good real life drops , thanks

Scope mount and powder load will change that!

The chart will be more accurate if you fill in the temps, pressure, humidity and altitude. Kestrel makes a great all in one gauge just for that. Not very exspensive either.

@WHO_TEE_WHO for deer do you prefer the 350 or the 7.5 Grendel?

Looks like a 200 yard zero. According to my calculation on my 6.5 G 20 inch barrel zeroed at 45 gives a 1.6 high 100 and minus .6 at 200 with the custom sst's. Haven't checked in the real world yet. Difference of 2.2 inches which is close to what you had.

Good video.

Move over Grendel, CREED MORE IS TAKING OVER!🐊🐊🐊🐊 That is still impressive on the drop rate!👍 Good shooting WHO-TEE-WHO!

You can't find 6.5G? I assume you can't find it locally, PPU makes a 120gr fmj you can get for a dollar per round, and Hornady makes one 123gr match for $1.04rd That's skipping over all the 80¢ wolf steel case offerings.

Prefer actual range results, charts are good for reference since each rifle and barrel usually show difference results. Rule #1 know your weapon!

If you are zero’d at 100…do you aim higher or lower for an animal less than 100 yards?

Have a good week

👍 🇺🇸 👍 Great content Who Tee Who!

You should buy some 6.5 grendel ammo from Druid Hill Armory, better price and way better quality!

I cannot believe that is drops 4 inches at 200 yards? Craziness! Maximum Point Blank Range would be good to see?!?!?

AA takes forever to send you any ammo. 5 months. Used to be a year. Order bulk!

The only adjustment I would do is move it left a few clicks 🤷‍♂️🙂.

My 6.5 grendel shoots inch high at 100 yards dead on at 200 but thats max range i shoot because in pa woods whos gonna shoot 200 yards anyways ....last 4 deer i shot was only 30 yards away and they all drop

A little history on 6.5g development that probably set the cartridge back a few years. We know there was a type 1 and a type 2. well this actually happen twice and first was the chamber throat along with the fighting and bickering what it should be. the cause was, at the time, there were only a few different bullets made in 6.5. The type 1 was set on having shorter bullets so when they started making longer bullets they were getting crammed into the lands. The type 2 was chamber to accommodate the new bullets being made and it looked as though it would continue from that point. Then probably before the dust settled on that, some jokers decided to use 7.62X39 bolts to save a few $$$. The original design used the same bolt as the 50 Beo and had the longer throat As Bill Alexander intended from the start. so anyhow, this move created another type 1 over again. If you were buying a Grendel, there was a good chance you'd end up with a rifle that couldn't be shot because one or the other things. I was personally sent the7.62x39 bolts twice for a rifle that needed the other one. People were fairly aggravated by this point just dumping their Grendel projects. So it's taking years to get this amazing cartridge fitted into a rifle where people finally starting trusting it again enough to put their money down. Given my handloading experience I knew the potential of the round and it's significant improvement over the 223/556. If not for the delay It would of been mainstream years back. And what's considered the type 2 now, was the original design from the start and rightfully is the first type as designed.

Is your ruger 26" barrel?

Will you please make a video on .357 mag in a rifle

👍👍

Very interesting. Maybe fun in AR platform but creedmoor is my go to for XLR 600-1000 yards. Thanks for the test. Cool video!

Impressive round. Is there 65 Grendel upper for the 556 lower?

Don't think that .338 did your shooting skills any favors...time to work on getting rid of the blink you do as you shoot.

I went to the bar and late that night I started doing a little dance i called it the boolot drop then this big man showed me a move he called a side door stiff arm move ! Wa yea. ) :

What happened to your skam video I saw it and iit was good.

Heavy metal

Why doesn't the 6.5 Grendel group very well ?

Dang WTW is going to cost me again I just dumped a wad on a 6.5 CM lol I’m just going to tell mamie they are a old fellow named whoo tee who down here in Tennessee causing me to buy more guns and reloading equipment lol lol😂

If I can some how sent the 357 rifle and ammo to you I woull

You should do a 5.45x39 drop test

Yesterday I just got a waterbottle at 520 with my grendel + reloads

You do some good juju

ill take a real world video over some egg head making notes about the projectiles
