  • Updated Selection of Projectiles for the Grendel

    Here is an updated list of projectiles ranging from 85gr-130gr. Since a few hunters have seen great results with 140gr bullets, and the 160gr are the go-to pills for subsonic use, we'll include everything. Click on the dropbox link for a more comprehensive list, which is evolving as we discover more and more projectiles available for this cartridge.



    Red: Varmint
    Blue: Medium Game
    Dark Orchid: Match
    Orange: Match/Thin-skinned Game
    Black: FMJ & Military Solids

    Nice work LR. How come Match bullets get dark Orchid?

      No reason. Just looking for another color. It would be nice if I could separate the hunting and target bullets into 2 columns.

        Nice ..now if we could get ahold of loose 115 Bergers or another manufacturer would produce an FMJ at a reasonable price...

          That 125 Nosler Partition looks interesting, anyone out there using it? Loads? Hunting experiences?

            It has a listed BC of .449 G1. Would be interesting to see what velocities it could be launched at from 18-20" guns.

                The 100gr Barnes TTSX is listed if you look. (Tipped TSX is TTSX)

                  The BCs with the bullets would be handy.

                        There are also plenty of projectiles from the bespoke makers. Just a few that come to mind.

                        Cauteruccio
                        JLK
                        Lost River
                        Bitterroot
                        LeHigh
                        Woodleigh
                        RWS
                        IMI

                        Some of these are a bit obscure and I do not doubt that I have missed a whole bunch of the custom shops.

                          But I think that what Ullr was saying is that the 120gr Barnes TTSX can go on the list too, with a BC of .443


                          Very nice list to have.

                              Yeah, thats the one. I wasn't specific enough ... the 120 is the only one I've shot. Thx.
