Product Overview
Wolf Military Classic 6.5mm Grendel pushes a 100-grain FMJ bullet at 2,690 fps, generating 1,607 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The lighter bullet weight produces noticeably higher velocity than the 120-123 grain loads common in this caliber. Steel casings keep costs down while the bi-metal jacket handles standard range use. The G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.421 reflects the shorter, lighter projectile design.
This load fills a specific role: affordable trigger time for 6.5 Grendel shooters who want to run their rifles without burning through premium ammunition. Wolf's steel-cased production runs at scale, which translates to prices well below brass-cased alternatives. The lacquer-coated cases extract reliably in most AR-15 builds, though some shooters report slight increases in carbon buildup compared to brass.
Range sessions, function testing, and informal plinking are where this ammunition belongs. The FMJ design and steel cases make it unsuitable for hunting or competition, but that's not the point. Shooters who want to practice fundamentals, break in a new barrel, or run drills without watching costs add up will find Wolf delivers consistent ignition and acceptable accuracy for the purpose.
- Steel casings and high-volume production make this one of the least expensive 6.5 Grendel options available
- The 100-grain bullet runs at 2,690 fps—faster than heavier loads—giving flatter trajectory at typical practice distances
- Lacquer-coated steel cases extract reliably in most AR-15 actions without the sticky extraction some shooters fear
- Non-reloadable cases mean you don't have to worry about brass collection at the range
- Steel cases are harder than brass and may cause slightly faster wear on your extractor over tens of thousands of rounds
- The lighter 100-grain bullet sheds velocity faster at distance than 120+ grain loads, limiting effective range
- Some indoor ranges prohibit bi-metal jackets due to spark concerns, so check range rules before bringing this ammunition
- Accuracy typically runs 1.5-2 MOA rather than sub-MOA, making it unsuitable for precision work or load development
