6.5 Grendel – 130 gr Berger OTM – Remington (21205) – 200 Rounds

The 6.5 Grendel stretches the AR-15 platform’s range with heavy, efficient bullets, and match ammo brings out its accuracy. This listing is Remington Premier Match 6.5 Grendel 130 grain Berger Open Tip Match ammo, MPN 21205, sold as a 200 round case for AR precision shooters and long-range steel enthusiasts.

Remington rates this load at 2,400 fps with 1,663 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Berger 130 grain OTM bullet has a high ballistic coefficient that resists wind drift and stays supersonic well beyond what 55 or 62 grain 223 bullets can manage. That makes the Grendel a strong choice for steel at 600 yards and beyond from an AR-15. Open tip match bullets are built for accuracy and are not designed for hunting, so use a hunting bullet for deer and hogs.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 6.5 Grendel, including AR-15 uppers from Alexander Arms, Bear Creek, Palmetto State Armory, and Faxon, the Ruger American Ranch and Howa 1500 in 6.5 Grendel, and CZ 527 rifles in the caliber. A common question is whether 6.5 Grendel needs special magazines. Yes. It uses a fatter case than 223, so use magazines designed for the Grendel for reliable feeding. Another common question is whether a 6.5 Grendel upper uses a standard AR-15 bolt. No. It requires a larger-diameter bolt face, so buy a matching bolt with your barrel.

Remington 21205 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive priming. This case ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds from one lot. One lot keeps your velocity data consistent, which matters when you are building a long-range dope card for an AR. Store the boxes away from heat, since temperature swings can change velocity.
