my 78 yr old dad just bought a Howa mini 6.5 Grendel and I'll be doing some load development and reloading 40-50 rds. for him.
I found some Lapua brass, checking to see if someone has a set of dies (Wilson preferably) and bullets available before I start researching the normal online retailers
bullets being considered as I'm not picky .... 120 gr NBT , 123 amax, 120 SMK, 123 SST, 120 Sierra TMK, etc ... ... something that will result in < 1" groups and kill deer/pigs
thx

I've got the same rifle. I'm using a 120 grain ELDM, and 30 grains of CFE223. Mine shoots bungholes and works great on whitetails! Good luck
