Description
The Hornady 6.5 Grendel 123gr SST load is built for shooters who want more from their 6.5 Grendel than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 123 grain SST polymer tip to a rated 2580 feet per second, producing about 1818 foot-pounds of energy. The SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet uses a polymer tip to start expansion on impact and an InterLock ring to keep the core and jacket together, giving fast expansion with good weight retention on deer and similar game.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 6.5 Grendel 123gr SST until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Its efficient, high ballistic coefficient bullets hold velocity and resist wind well past 500 yards, and it has become a popular choice for deer and hog hunters who want a light, handy semi-auto rifle.
