Just bought the Diamondback AR in 6.5 and I am looking for ammo results

Anyone have experience with the Diamondback in 6.5? I haven't bought ammo yet, and I was hoping for suggestions and tips! Thanks and Merry Christmas to all at Bayou Shooter!

You weren’t specific enough.

AR15 Or AR10

6.5 Grendel or 6.5 Creedmore

I have a lot of experience with 65Grendel but that’s it

Hate to thread jack but it may help him. How do you like the grendel? I've been considering getting a long barrel 6.5 upper to get back into hunting next season and do some long range shooting.

I absolutely love it! Plenty of oomph for any game I will hunt, excellent accuracy and ballistics from the 6.5 pills, low recoil, factory ammo becoming more available every day and now you can get factory Howa or CZ bolt actions.

My magnum rifles haven’t seen daylight since I bought my first 6.5G 7 or 7 years ago. I now have a 12* two 16*and two 20*

You won’t regret it.

Thinking about getting a 6.5 Grendel upper for my .556 lower. Is there any noticeable difference between a 18 inch barrel and a 20 inch as far as accuracy and performance?
