6.5 Grendel gets the best of both worlds when it comes to energy and velocity. The 6.5 Grendel is known for its flat trajectory, minimal wind drift, and impressive energy retention at extended ranges. Derived from the 7.62×39 cartridge case, Grendel packs a punch with more powder behind a smaller-diameter bullet.

 

Developed by Alexander Arms and introduced in 2003, the 6.5 Grendel was created to optimize accuracy, range, and energy retention while maintaining compatibility with the widely used AR-15 platform. This cartridge has quickly gained a reputation as an excellent choice for hunting deer and hogs, long-range shooting, and tactical use, being a caliber used by U.S. Special Forces.

 

With a well-matched load, the 6.5 Grendel remains effective out to 800–1,000 yards, retains more energy than many .223/5.56 loads at 500 yards, and bridges the gap between the light, fast .223/5.56 and the heavier, longer-range .308 Winchester.

 

We carry magazines, bolt carrier groups, and barrels in this caliber – and all your other favorite AR parts and accessories will work great with them.
