Took my 8 year old step son out on youth hunting day this evening. Had my 16" Grendel and 260 Rem custom R700 as a backup gun.
Doe came out 500 yards away, so I turned the illuminated reticle on my NF SHV F1 and swapped him over to the 260.
She took her time grazing and slowly walking towards us. When she presented a clean shot she was at 287 yards away.
We were both laying prone on top of the ridge, so I didn't want to risk the movement swapping him back to the Grendel.
He took a very nice broadside shot (he regularly practices behind out house at 610 yards) made a perfect double lung shot and took a chunk of the heart as well. She did a big jump then face planted.
These 143 eld-x bullets are absolutely devastating at 260 Rem velocities. This is now the second deer, a bull moose and black bear taken with this combo..
Sorry, not a Grendel, but I love you guys and I'm a very proud step-dad.. she dressed at 145 pounds.
