Hornady V-Match™ 6.5 Grendel 100 gr ELD-VT™ – 20 Rounds
A Short History of the 6.5 Grendel:
Developed in 2003 by Bill Alexander and Arne Brennan, the 6.5 Grendel was designed to maximize long-range efficiency in the AR-15 platform. Offering superior ballistic performance over 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem, the Grendel delivers impressive retained energy, flat trajectory, and mild recoil. It has earned a solid reputation among hunters, competitive shooters, and military users looking for long-range performance in a compact system.
Product Overview:
Hornady’s V-Match™ series is built for shooters who demand precision and terminal consistency. This 6.5 Grendel load, topped with the 100 gr ELD-VT™ (Extremely Low Drag – Varmint & Target) bullet, is designed to bridge explosive varmint performance with match-grade accuracy. The Heat Shield® tip resists deformation from aerodynamic heating, ensuring uniform drag and reliable expansion beyond 2000 fps impact velocity.
