I also shoot the 6.5 Grendel and have used the 123 SST, but for me, it was a little soft based on the fragmentation I have seen. I have captured a few and they have between 50 and 65% weight retention, mainly hogs which can be challenge for projectiles.   

Is this an AR or bolt gun?

Me personally, I would consider either one of these. If it were me, I would buy a factory box of 103 ELD-X to see if it shoots. I have also heard good things about the ELD-X with the 6mm ARC.

Looking forward to some real world feedback on the SST and ELD-X when used with the 6mm ARC......
Thanks for the reply.

This is going to be a Bear Creek Arsenal 20" upper mated to one of my lowers topped with a 6-24x50 Vortex Diamondback. Nothing real special just something fun. I had extra parts and a scope laying around so I figured out I might as well do something with them. 

I'm sure I will end up buying a box or two of factory ammo just to zero the scope and have fun with.
