6.5 Grendel/264 LBC/ 6.5 AR

The 6.5 Grendel started life as a proprietary cartridge. The Grendel was designed by Bill Alexander to replace the .223 cartridge in military rifles. 

This cartridge is a spin off of the 6PPC but was designed to handle heavier bullets. Most of the 6.5mm bullets have a better ballistic coefficient than any of the .223 bullets. This made the 6.5 Grendel much more efficient at 600 yards. The Grendel is tailored to fit in an AR-15 platform Modern Sporting Rifle at standard magazine lengths.

The 6.5 LBC was developed by Les Baer to replicate the 6.5 Grendel before it became a SAAMI spec'ed cartridge.

 Our 6.5 AR fits both! Once again, Harbour Arms was the first to bring you the 6.5 Grendel snap cap.
