The Nosler Match Grade 6.5 Grendel delivers precision-engineered performance for competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts. This premium ammunition combines Nosler's renowned Custom Competition bullets with carefully selected powder charges and brass cases to achieve consistent sub-MOA accuracy. Each round features match-grade components that meet the exacting standards required for precision rifle competition.
What Makes This Different
Nosler's Custom Competition bullets undergo additional manufacturing steps that standard hunting ammunition lacks, including weight sorting within 0.3 grains and uniform jacket thickness control. The 123-grain hollow point boat tail design provides superior ballistic coefficient compared to flat-base bullets, maintaining velocity and reducing wind drift at extended ranges. Quality control measures include individual case inspection and powder charge verification to ensure lot-to-lot consistency that competitive shooters demand.
