          Improved form to better represent your data.
          Note the discrepancy between 483 bullets shot and 406 game killed. I re-did all game data (distance shot & ran) but didn't have time to re-do all bullet data. All hunting stories were simply struck from the form, the game was removed but the bullets not.

          I reckoned the most interesting data would be how fast the Grendel puts the game on the ground.

              No sweat. Wanted to correct the unfortunate "bundling" of data that happened when figures was rounded up/down. Now it is evenly Distributed and it clearly shows how fast the Grendel drops game at normal hunting distances and better identify the DRT figure.

              A whopping 59% of game shot with the Grendel fell on the spot.
              3/4 of the game fell within a very short distance (meaning walk up and see the game immediately).

                I wish I had kept better records. I have shot at least 150 hogs, 10 deer and countless varmints (yotes, fox, bobcats, skunks, coons, possums,etc) 95% of the hogs DRT (neck shot), I've never had a varmint run and the furthest I can remember a deer running is 30 yards.

                BTW 120-123grain bullets

                  Shot a 400lb Red Stag on New Years Eve with my 20" Grendel. 75yds broadside. Two shots tho I think one would've done the job. Found one round in opposite hide right behind the shoulder and the other exited next to it. 123gr SST. Stag went about 30yds before collapsing.

                        Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel - 18" Barrel
                        Nightforce SHV 3-10x32 MOAR
                        Hornady 123gr A-MAX

                        Whitetail Doe - 100yds - Perfect top of heart / lung shot placement. She fell over dead. Exit hole was the size of a silver dollar - approx 1 1/2" in size.
                        Whitetail Buck - 354yds - Perfect top of heart / lung shot placement. He went about 15yds. Exit hole was 1" in size. Just a little smaller than the doe.

                        Necropsy showed that when the projectile passed through the chest cavity there was damage to the top of the heart on each shot, and to the lungs. One the doe there was also signs of projectile fragmentation and damage to the under side of the spine. Perhaps this is why she fell like a rock.

                          It seems that some fragmenting is not a bad thing. Good shooting!

                            Not at all. I'm a fan of fragmenting projectiles. I'm a firm believer in 100% kinetic energy transfer from the projectile to the prey... and any projectile that exits the cavity doesn't give a 100% transfer. I prefer to not find exit holes on the animals I shoot. As long as I get about 8" of solid penetration... I know that the vitals are gone and its gonna go down.

                              Let's keep this thread limited to field reports per the format in the OP so the OP can easily tally up the data periodically.
