Hornady has introduced several new hunting loads for 2010 including this one for the 6.5 Grendel. Pushing a 123 grain Hornady A-MAX bullet at 2620 fps (1619 ft-lbs), this load gives the AR-platform guns a wider range of choices when hunting thin-skinned, medium sized game.
Additionally, Hornady stated they will also begin selling 6.5 Grendel brass and reloading dies to allow shooters to custom load their own cartridges.
Other articles that will amaze you:
Given that Hornady has the following disclaimer on their A-MAX bullets (including the 123gr. 6.5mm), should this ammo be touted as an option for hunting medium-sized game?
“Match bullets are not recommended for hunting medium & large game.”
Thanks.

Bob,
Good point. I didn’t catch that before. I’ve sent an e-mail off to Hornady for clarification.
