I'm assuming you mean factory loads, and if so there are a lot of them that are very good for that purpose especially since you are limiting the range to only 200 yards. I think my first choice would be the AA 129 grain Hornady SST. I haven't seen a Grendel that wouldn't shoot this load pretty well but I am also sure there is one somewhere.

whatever shoots best in your rifle. Im staying with the 100 - 120gr
Grendel Junky!
As long as it is loaded with a quality hunting bullet, not a match bullet, it should do fine. I killed a big doe with the inexpensive Wolf Gold. One shot, 100 yards, she dropped like a ton of bricks, broke both scapula's, collapsed both lungs. Somehow I missed the heart. The exit hole 2-3 inches in diameter. I don't think you would need anything more than that for deer. I've never hunted hogs, but I am sure that with good shot placement you won't have any problems.
Was that the 123 grain soft point you used or 120 grain MPT you used on deer?Originally Posted by Bedford
Just ordered 4 box's of 6.5 Grendel 130 gr. Nosler Accubond Ammunition 200rds I think that will get me started?
probably should have gotten some to try first, keep us posted!

I bought a couple of hundred rounds of 130gr Accubonds loaded by Precisions firearms a while back. Very accurate and deadly on deer and hogs. I should uses them more often. If they dont work well for you let me know.
I shot a large doe with the Wolf 120 SP in December and it worked very well. The distance was only 25 yards.
Do you mean the 120 grain Multi Purpose Tactical load, or the 123 grain Soft Point load?
