    Best groups and Fav loads?

    Hello Everyone! I was wondering if you could share your best groups and the loads that got you there? I'm especially interested in the 120-123 grain weight range.

    Thanks Much!!

    I geared my Grendel for hunting and not target shooting. I wanted to hunt with an AR and I think the 5.56 is a bit light for hogs.

    My best groups have been with the 100gr Nosler BT and 30.5 H335.

    I am using Hornady brass

        I am going to try TAC and H335 with the 123 AMAX in Wolf, Lapua and Hornady brass.

        I am going to use Lapua for long range rifle and the others for hunting and carbine.

                I think the TAC-TX has more emphasis upon barrier penetration for LE and MIL

                  28.0gr -vel 2333fps - group 1.32"
                  28.5gr -vel 2378fps - group 1.83"
                  29.0gr -vel 2418fps - group 1.46"
                  29.5gr -vel 2470fps - group 1.48"

                  Since I couldn't tighten up the groups, I decided to hunt wit 120 sierra pro hunters using 28.4gr TAC. It gave me tight sub MOA groups and gave me a nice buck last season with about a 1.5" exit wound at 50yds.
