Description
The Federal 65 Grendel 120gr OTM load is built for shooters who want more from their 6.5 Grendel than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 120 grain open tip match to a rated 2610 feet per second, producing about 1816 foot-pounds of energy. The open tip match bullet has a high ballistic coefficient that helps it resist wind drift, making this an excellent load for practice at extended distances with an AR-15 platform rifle.

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 Federal 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 Federal 65 Grendel 120gr OTM until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
The 6.5 Grendel was developed in the early 2000s to give the AR-15 platform better long-range performance than the .223 Remington. Its short, fat case holds enough powder to push heavy, high ballistic coefficient 6.5mm bullets at useful velocities while still fitting a standard AR-15 magazine well, making it popular for both long-range target shooting and medium-game hunting.
