<p>The 6.5mm Grendel design goal was to create an effective 200–800 yard AR-15
magazine-length cartridge for the AR-15 that surpassed the performance of the
native 5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington cartridge. Constrained by the length of the <a
href="/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm_NATO" title="5.56×45mm NATO">5.56×45mm NATO</a> round,
the Grendel designers decided to use a shorter, larger diameter case for higher
powder volume while allowing space for long, streamlined, high <a
href="/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient" title="Ballistic coefficient">ballistic
coefficient</a> (BC) bullets. Firing factory loaded <a href="/wiki/Ammunition"
title="Ammunition">ammunition</a> loaded with bullets ranging from 90 to 129 <a
href="/wiki/Grain_(unit)" title="Grain (unit)">grains</a> <span
class="nowrap">(5.8–8.4 g)</span>, its muzzle velocity ranges from 2,500&#160;ft/s
(760&#160;m/s) with 129- and 130-grain (8.4&#160;g) bullets to 2,900&#160;ft/s
(880&#160;m/s) with 90&#160;gr (5.8&#160;g) bullets (similar in velocity to a
5.56&#160;mm 77-grain (5.0&#160;g) round). 6.5 Grendel cartridges depending on
their case material and bullet weigh 14.7 to 17.8 grams (227 to 275&#160;gr).</p>
<p>The case head diameter of the Grendel is the same as that of the .220 Russian,
the <a href="/wiki/7.62%C3%9739mm" title="7.62×39mm">7.62×39mm</a>, and 6.5mm PPC
cases. This diameter is larger than the 5.56×45mm NATO, thereby necessitating the
use of a non-standard AR-15 bolt. The increased case diameter results in a small
reduction in the capacity of standard size M16/AR-15 magazines. A Grendel magazine
with the same dimensions as a STANAG 30-round 5.56 magazine will hold 26 rounds of
6.5mm ammunition.</p>

<ul>
<li>1943: The Soviets develop and adopt the 7.62×39mm M43 cartridge and begin to
field it.</li>
<li>Late 1950s: The <a href="/wiki/.220_Russian" title=".220 Russian">.220
Russian</a> hunting cartridge is developed, based on the military 7.62×39mm M43
design.</li>
<li>1984: Louis Palmisano and William B. Davis, PhD, develop the 6.5mm PPC from the
.220 Russian for the US Shooting Team for use in bolt-action rifles in the 1986
world championships. While performance was exceptional, the US Shooting Team stays
with 6mm. The 6.5mm PPC is shelved and never seen again, although Dr. Louis
Palmisano believes the 6.5mm PPC could be a formidable competition cartridge with
new sub-100 grain bullets.</li>
<li>1998: Arne Brennan, a competition shooter and founder of
competitionshooting.com, designs and orders a 6.5 PPC reamer from JGS Tool
optimized for AR-15 magazine length after conducting extensive theoretical study of
multiple calibers and cartridge cases.</li>
<li>2000: Arne Brennan, after thousands of rounds of testing 6.5 PPC, compares
notes with Dr Louis Palmisano (creator of the 22 and 6mm PPC cartridges).</li>
<li>Early 2002: Bill Alexander, an engineer who worked for the British Ministry of
Defense and designer of the .224 BOZ, .499 L-W and .50 Beowulf cartridges, begins
research on developing a 6.5mm Intermediate cartridge specifically for the AR-15.
Eventually the 6.5mm PPC caught his attention as it would fit his existing high
strength <a href="/wiki/.50_Beowulf" title=".50 Beowulf">.50 Beowulf</a> bolt. So
he machined a solid brass 6.5mm PPC dummy round. It was a cartridge that was small
enough to double-stack in an AR-15 size magazine.</li>
<li>July 2002: American firearms journalist David M. Fortier and Bill Alexander
share ideas for a 6.5mm Intermediate cartridge. Fortier shares his idea for a
7.62×39mm based cartridge for use in the Kalashnikov system. He shelves his idea,
though, when Alexander shares what he is working on for the AR-15.</li>
<li>August 2002: Arne Brennan and Bill Alexander are introduced by a mutual
acquaintance at Lothar Walther USA.</li>
<li>January 2003: Janne Pohjoispää, an engineer working for Lapua, and Bill
Alexander begin working together on designing and finalizing what would become the
6.5mm Grendel cartridge. Pohjoispää decides against basing it on the PPC as Lapua
is already producing .220 Russian brass. He redesigns it using Lapua's .220 Russian
case as the starting point. The two bounce ideas off each other and finalize the
cartridge. The end result is noticeably different than Brennan and Alexander's
original 6.5mm-PPC-based design. The new design features a relocated shoulder,
increased case capacity, and a thicker neck for increased case life in auto-loading
rifles.</li>
<li>November 2003: Alexander Arms pays for the cartridge tooling and places an
initial order for 50,000 brass cases.</li>
<li>November 2003: JGS produces the first reamer for the new cartridge.</li>
<li>January 2004: Alexander Arms officially introduces their new cartridge, dubbed
the 6.5mm Grendel, at the SHOT Show. They introduce both a line of rifles and
ammunition.</li>
<li>May 2006: Independent <a href="/wiki/Ballistic_gelatin" title="Ballistic
gelatin">ballistic gelatin</a> testing completed for 90&#160;gr (5.8&#160;g) TNT,
120 grains (7.8&#160;g) Norma, 120&#160;gr (7.8&#160;g) SMK, and 123 grains
(8.0&#160;g) SMK prototype.</li>
<li>Aug 2006: Pressure safe loading data is published for AR firearms with 14.5- to
28.0-inch (370–710&#160;mm) barrels.</li>
<li>Feb 2007: Production <a href="/wiki/Wolf_Ammunition" title="Wolf
Ammunition">Wolf</a> brand ammunition becomes available. Wolf Performance
Ammunition becomes a supporter of the cartridge and introduces both a 123 grain
Soft Point and 120 grain Multi Purpose Tactical HPBT in their brass-cased Gold
line.</li>
<li>Nov 2009: Hornady teams with Alexander Arms to produce 6.5mm Grendel
ammunition, cartridge cases, and dedicated projectiles. They introduce a 123 grain
AMAX load, which quickly gains a reputation for excellent accuracy.</li>
<li>Early 2011: Barnaul of Russia begins development of a 110 grain FMJ-BT load
using steel cartridge cases. Preproduction cases are delivered for testing in the
fall of 2011.</li>
<li>June 2014: Production 100gr FMJ Wolf Steel Case ammunition becomes available in

and the <a href="/wiki/7.62%C3%9751mm_NATO" title="7.62×51mm NATO">7.62×51mm

these cartridges due to its higher ballistic coefficient.<sup id="cite_ref-

example, the 123&#160;gr (8.0&#160;g) 6.5 Grendel has more energy and better armor
penetration at 1,000 meters than the larger and heavier 147&#160;gr (9.5&#160;g)

<p>In order to obtain ballistics that are superior to the 7.62×51mm cartridge, a
weapon with a longer barrel and firing a heavier bullet is necessary. To achieve

<p>As noted above, the Grendel case is very closely related to the .220 Russian
case. In general, each additional grain of bullet weight will reduce muzzle
velocity by 10&#160;ft/s (4.7&#160;m/s for each gram) and each additional inch of
barrel length will increase muzzle velocity by 20&#160;ft/s (2.4&#160;m/s for each
centimeter).<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-
space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"
title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to
reliable sources. (November 2014)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> Therefore,
a handy rule of thumb is "one inch of barrel length equals two grains of bullet
weight (1&#160;mm → 5&#160;mg)". Specific details are available as graphs derived
from Alexander Arms' public domain load table linked below.</p>
