    Bolt Action Grendel GA Buck

    Finally got a chance to test out my New Bolt Action Grendel. Shot this Buck at 120yds using 123gr Amax bullets.

    Bullet entered the leg, then took out a few ribs on the way into the chest cavity, turned everything inside to soup and exited through the ribs on the opposite side. Buck turned ran/staggered about 30yds and crashed.

    All in All, I am happy with the performance of the Grendel and Amax Bullets.

    I use the a max as well and can get a similar explosive result but 80 to 90% usable meat is still a good result for the sure killing of the bullet.

      I was very surprised with the terminal damage and still getting a pass through. I'm use to shooting a 260 with 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips with explosive damage and no pass through. Of course you really don't need a pass through when the animal drops in their tracks.

      I will be going to Kentucky in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I will get a chance to test the Grendel out there also. Still have another Buck Tag and several Doe Tags for Georgia as well.

        Major congrats and nice rifle and performance report.

        Controlled expansion with penetration is what the 123gr AMAX does. It's an excellent hunting bullet, even though it wasn't meant to be one.
