Grendel Point blank range is 0-220ish yards I'd wager with good shot placement, you could use that Wolf to excellent effect within that 150 yard mark. I would't hesitate. That 7n6 bullet construction was proven so deadly that it was banned in the US for a time because of it's nature. That should say enough about it's terminal performance right there. If it makes a snowflake shake in fear, imagine what that deer is going to think about it.
My two cents.Nothing kills the incentive of men faster than a healthy sense of entitlement. Nothing kills entitlement faster than a healthy sense of achievement.

I've never used Wolf but, I wouldn't use a non expanding bullet on med game. YMMVNebraska Firearms Owners Association. https://nebraskafirearms.org/wp/

What about a high yaw sensitive tumbling bullet that turns into sort of a boomerang head-over-heel through medium game?
All the results I'm seeing so far from different people across the US are quick kills on hogs and deer with the 7n6-like 6.5mm projectile.
Doesn't appear to ice pick at all. I can't post the deer pics, but it's pretty brutal, DRT.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Interesting point, but is there any predictability to bullet performance? Where I live we have to use an expanding bullet for big game so my information base is quite small. When I try to use 5.56 55gr factory solids on coyote I've had many run off never to be found, some after being tracked for over a mile. I'd guess hitting major bones would matter.

We have to use expanding bullets on big game here in Utah by law as well. Mulies are considered big game.
I just included the Wolf steel case for those that might be interested in how it performs on tissue.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

At what distance?Originally posted by 1075 tech View PostOn the doe I shot with the SST, there was the small hole in the hide. Under that though..... Every rib was broken from the sternum. I could put my fist through the hole. Neat little hole through the heart but both lungs were liquified. There was no exit. I found the majority of the bullet under the stomach, just under the hide.Travis Kay
