6.5 GRENDELBULLETS & BRASS by Brian Pearce

Arms 6.5 Grendel, and I agree itis an amazing cartridge. The fol-lowing loads were developed us -ing a Match Grade test barrel, butthe velocities obtained from yourAlexander Arms rifle should bevery similar. Try 29.1 grains ofAccurate 2520 for 2,513 fps, or30.1 grains of Winchester 748 for2,525 fps, or 31.2 grains of Hodg-don CFE 223 for 2,551 fps. Allthree loads are approaching max-imum and were accurate in a test

barrel. For comparison, Hor-nady 123-grain factory loadsclocked 2,515 fps from thissame barrel. I hope this in-formation helps.

.40 S&WQ: I always enjoy your ar -ticles and appreciate the detailed information you pro-vide. I handload for severalrevolver cartridges, and youhave offered outstanding loads

and advice that have worked verywell for me.

I also handload for the .40 S&Wand enjoyed your article in the October 2014 issue of Handloader(No. 292), which was long over-due. I have found a source for low-cost, swaged-lead 180-grain bullets,which brings me to my question.Can I substitute data that you pro-vided with the Oregon Trail 180-grain cast bullets with swagedlead bullets of the same weight?Thank you in advance.

–T.S., via e-mail

A: I have not tried swaged-leadbullets in the .40 S&W, but I have

used them in the 9mm Luger andother pistol cartridges. Unless ve-locity is rather low at around 700to 800 fps maximum, and your“supplier” is using a high-qualitylubricant, you might experiencesome barrel leading. Additionally,extremely light loads might notcycle the action of your pistol.Unless there is a specific reasonthat you want to use swaged-leadbullets, I would steer you to theOregon Trail bullets that were usedin the article, which, when held to around 800 to 850 fps, createminimal barrel leading.

.45 ACPQ: I am looking for load informa-tion for the .45 ACP using theBarnes 185-grain XPB bullet. Ihave two guns that I will load for –a Smith & Wesson Model 1911PD(5-inch barrel with alloy frame)and a Glock Model 30. I would likea load that will reach full-perfor-mance potential but that is not ex-cessive or will damage the guns.The gentleman at the gun shopwhere I purchase bullets explainedthat this is a very difficult bullet tohandload safely and that there areonly one or two powders that willwork in my application. This iswhere your name came up as a re-source to help. Is it possible toreach 1,000 fps or more? I have onhand Alliant Unique and Bullseye.If these powders are not suitable,

Having used up most of my Hor-nady factory loads, it is time tobegin handloading, and I wouldlike data for the 120- and 123-grainA-MAX bullets. I would like toreach at least 2,500 fps, or more ifpossible. And since powders areso difficult to obtain right now,maybe you could offer loads fortwo or three different powders. Ivery much appreciate your help.

– D.M., Page AZ

A: I am glad that you have beenso happy with your Alexander

Cast bullets in the .40 S&W, such asOregon Trail’s Laser Cast, are a betteroption than swaged lead bullets.

Q: After reading your article(in Rifle magazine) on the

6.5s, I found an Alexander Arms R-65-18 Hunter chambered for 6.5Grendel and have been shooting it nonstop. It does everything thatyou claim, and the accuracy isamazing with several 100-yardgroups hovering around 1⁄2 inch. Ihave also tried it on paper targetsat 800 yards, and it is incrediblehow well this gun and compactcartridge perform.

Winchester 748, Hodgdon CFE 223 andAccurate 2520 are excellent choices forhandloading 120- and 123-grain bulletsin the 6.5 Grendel.

April-May 2015 11www.handloadermagazine.com

I am happy to purchase whateveryou might suggest. Any informa-tion you can forward would begreatly appreciated.

– A.S., Missoula MT

A: There are actually many pow-ders that are suitable for hand-loading the Barnes 185-grain XPBin the .45 ACP. However, data thatwas developed with conventionalcup-and-core bullets of the same

weight cannot be interchanged, asthe Barnes bullet seats much moredeeply, reducing powder capacity,and has a longer bearing surface.

Since you have Alliant Uniqueon hand, try 6.8 grains, whichwill produce around 1,030 fpsfrom the 5-inch barrel of yourModel 1911PD. For a bit more ve-locity, try 8.0 grains of AlliantPower Pistol powder for around1,120 fps. Although this last loadis within “standard” pressureguidelines, it is close to +P pres-sures. Incidentally, both of yourpistols are suitable for +P pres-sure loads, so this should not be aconcern.

.303 BRITISHQ: I am hoping you can help mefind suitable load data for the .303British. I have a supply of Hornady174-grain Match bullets, but mostof the data in manuals is very mild,usually running around 200 fpsslower than Remington factoryloads containing bullets of the

same weight. I would be happy toduplicate factory load velocities.Any load data you can offer wouldbe appreciated.

– B.R., Worland WY

A: For reference, Remington ad-vertises its 174-grain UMC MetalCase bullet at 2,475 fps. I wouldsuggest using 40.5 grains of Accu-rate No. 2520 powder for 2,485fps, or try 47.8 grains of Winches-ter 760 for 2,467 fps. Both loadsare within industry pressure lim-its that are currently establishedat 49,000 psi.

Both Alliant Unique and Power Pistolwill push the 185-grain Barnes XPB tobeyond 1,000 fps in a .45 Auto.

Accurate 2520 powder is suitable forhandloading the .303 British.

Steel Shot for

UplandGame

Can lead loadsbe duplicated?

A 12 gauge shooting 3-inch shells firing a stout load of steel shot is best for wild pheasants.

John Haviland

The use of lead shot for hunt-ing upland birds and smallgame is currently prohibitedin some areas of 23 states.

For example, Illinois requires the useof nontoxic shot on at least 10 of itspublic dove hunting areas and Wash-ington on all of its pheasant-releasesites. California will completely banammunition containing lead bulletsand shot for all hunting by 2019. Likeit or not, requirements for nontoxicshot are certain to increase in thecoming seasons.To stay ahead of the curve, handloading hunters needto start thinking about reloading nontoxic shot loadsthat match their usual lead shot upland game loads.Among those considerations are the kind of lead-freeshot, pellet velocity and size, and pattern density.

Unless you’re a hunter of considerable means, steelis the only affordable nontoxic shot. In fact, steel shot

prices have dropped significantlyover the last few years to the pointit is now less expensive than leadshot. For example, Ballistic Prod-ucts sells No. 2 steel for $1.60 apound, compared to $2 a poundfor No. 5 high antimony lead shot.In contrast, tungsten-based shotcosts from $15 to $35 per poundand bismuth shot sells for $25 perpound.

My 12- and 20-gauge lead loadscover dove, quail, ruffed, blue andsharp-tailed grouse and pheasants.Starting on the light side, theseloads consist of 3⁄4 ounce of No.71⁄2s with a muzzle velocity of 1,175fps (20 gauge); 7⁄8 ounce of 71⁄2s at1,140 fps and an ounce of No. 6swith a muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps(20 and 12 gauge); 11⁄4 ounces of 6sat 1,100 fps (20 gauge); and 11⁄4ounces of No. 4s or 5s at 1,300 fps(12 gauge).

To duplicate the energy of leadshot with steel, the advice has al-ways been to move up two shotsizes larger. After shooting a bunchof different 20- and 12-gauge leadand steel shot loads, and compar-ing their penetration into paper-

needs to be larger than lead shot toproduce comparable energy, andthat larger shot translates intofewer pellets.

That larger steel shot needs thesame, and in some cases evenslightly more, weight to match leadshot loads for pellet counts:

ucts to load various weights of Nos.2, 4 and 6 steel shot. The loads weretruly hand-loaded. Alliant Steelpowder is so “fluffy” it does notmeasure precisely from a chargebar bushing, so each charge ofSteel must be weighed on a scale,then poured into a case.

Most wads intended for steel shotare so long they will not fit in a reloading press wad guide and sorequire insertion by hand. Nitrocards and overshot cards mustalso be inserted by hand. Loadsthat include shot buffer require re-moving a case charged with shotfrom the press, sifting the bufferamong the shot then reinsertingthe case back into the press tocrimp the shell closed.

A 12 gauge gave some fairly high handload velocities. The 23⁄4-inch shells shot 7⁄8- and one-ouncecharges of steel 4s and 6s at about1,500 fps with Blue Dot and Steelpowders and should make goodloads for doves to grouse. The 7⁄8ounce of 4s at 1,500 fps should also

main in a pattern. So about 10 to 15percent less steel shot is requiredto produce the same pattern den-sity as lead shot.

Ballistic Products’ manual Statusof Steel 14th Edition and LymanShotshell Reloading Handbook 5thEditionwere used for guidance inselecting steel 12- and 20-gaugeloads for upland hunting; 12- and20-gauge wads for steel shot werealso purchased from Ballistic Prod-

Because steel pellets are roundand hard, they fly straight to re-

be deadly on pen-raised pheasants.Recoil was a bit stiff, though, andshooting a couple of boxes ofthese loads while dove huntingwould frazzle even the most stal-wart hunter by the end of the day.

Wild pheasants are clever late inthe season and take a hard hit tokill. Creating enough clout forthose birds out to 40 yards takes a3-inch shell firing an ounce of No.2 steel at nearly 1,700 fps or 11⁄8

back books, I’ll add that thoselarger steel pellets must also befired as fast as possible to actuallymatch lead shot. Steel is 30 per-cent less dense than lead. So ouncefor ounce, steel contains more pel-lets than lead. An ounce contains326 No. 6 steel pellets compared to226 No. 6 lead pellets. Accordingly,an ounce of steel shot produces amuch thicker pattern than an ounceof lead shot. Some say that allowsshooting a lighter amount of steelto produce patterns of nearly thesame density as lead, but steel shot

ounces at 1,560 fps. However, No.2 steel’s comparatively large sur-face area and light weight cause it to rapidly lose velocity, and pen-etration was shallow compared tolead 4s or 5s with a muzzle veloc-ity of 1,300 fps.

I was somewhat disappointedwith the 20-gauge steel loads. Bal-listic Products’ Advantages Manualstates, the “twenty gauge, using #4steel pellets, is about the smallestbore & steel pellet combinationyou want to take to the field.”Most of the 20-gauge steel loadslisted in Status of Steel contain 3⁄4-ounce charges. The heaviest are

slightly over 9⁄10 ounce for Fiocchicases. Twenty-gauge shooters willhave to buy factory shells if theywant to hunt with heavier amountsof steel. These one- and 11⁄16-ouncefactory loads, though, are about200 fps slower than handloaded 3⁄4-ounce loads. The 20-gauge, 3-inch shell fired 3⁄4 ounce of shot at

only 1,311 fps with 23.0 grains of Alliant Steel. Status of Steelstated velocity should have been250 fps faster with 24.0 grains ofSteel.

Testing shot for penetration is in-exact at best. Even pellets firedfrom the same shell into uniformballistic gelatin vary up to a cou-ple of inches. Varying depths ofpenetration of steel and lead pel-lets also occur in game birds.Many times, while dressing up-land birds and waterfowl, I’vefound pellets just under the skinor barely buried into the breast onthe side the bird was shot, whileother pellets have punched clearthrough the bird. This happensquite often even with ruffed grouse,

which have a thin skin and coverof feathers. Perhaps some of thosepellets had bounced off a wingbone or spine to come to theirshallow rest.

The various loads listed in TableII also differed in individual pene-tration. To conduct the test, Ipropped up paperback books andshot them at 30 yards. Shot firedfrom the same shell varied fromthe shallowest to the deepest pel-lets by up to 50-some pages. Forinstance, No. 6 steel, with a veloc-ity of 1,382 fps 3 feet in front of the

shotgun’s muzzle, varied from 58pages deep to 112 pages. One hun-dred pages in a book is about .25inch.

I was able to fire 3⁄4-ounce loadsof Nos. 4 and 6 steel at nearly1,500 fps from 20-gauge, 23⁄4-inchshells. The steel 6s fired at 1,474fps about matched lead 8s shot at1,131 fps for penetration, but steel6s lagged behind lead 71⁄2s a con-siderable depth. Steel No. 4s firedat 1,488 fps stepped up to matchthe lead 71⁄2s. Additional velocitydoes indeed help steel shot, be-cause the 4s handloaded to topspeed actually penetrated moredeeply than the larger steel 2swith a muzzle velocity 200 fpsslower from Remington Nitro fac-tory 20-gauge shells. Those faststeel No. 4s came up a bit short ofmatching lead 6s.

The steel 6s should work fine for doves. They perform okay onruffed grouse, because now that Ithink about it, I’ve never shot aruff beyond 25 yards. The largersteel 4s should be reliable for blueand sharp-tailed grouse out to 35yards, but if steel shot is requiredfor pheasants, my Beretta 20 gaugewill be left home during the lateseason.

Steel shot fired from 12-gauge,23⁄4-inch shells easily matches leadloads for quail, dove and grouse. A7⁄8-ounce load of steel No. 6s con-

tains about the same number ofpellets as 3⁄4 ounce of lead 8s. Pen-etration of the steel 6s at 1,466 fpsand lead 8s was also about thesame. If need be, Status of Steel

shells, I’ll quit pheasant huntingand take up golf.

Like it or not, upland game hunt -ers are seeing regulations that pro-hibit the use of lead shot, with morerestrictions certain in the future,but those rules do not mean huntersmust shoot inferior shotshells. Byselecting the correct size steel shotand loading it to the right velocity,steel shot handloads can matchtraditional lead loads.

Firing a heavier amount of steelwhile keeping velocity up requiresstepping up to a 12-gauge, 3-inchcase. From a 3-inch case, 11⁄8 ouncesof steel 2s had an initial velocity of 1,560 fps and penetration wasnot all that much less than lead 4s and 5s. Perhaps those lead 4sand 5s can be matched or ex-ceeded with a steel load fired froma 31⁄2-inch shell, but if I must en-dure the recoil from those big

contains recipes to increase thevelocity of 7⁄8 ounce of steel up to1,760 fps. However, the load’s re-coil is rather distracting. An ouncecontains nearly the same numberof No. 4 steel pellets as lead No. 6 pellets. That ounce of steel 4sstarting out at slightly over 1,500fps had nearly the same penetra-tion as lead 6s.

Above left, this 40-yard pattern was shot with 11⁄8 ounces of steel 2s in a 12-gauge,3-inch magnum case through a light-modified choke. Right, this pattern was shot at40 yards with one ounce of steel 4s from a 12 gauge.Reloading steel takes a lot of handwork:

weighing powder, inserting wads andputting overshot cards in place.
