    1st Blood for my Grendel

    I had been in my blind about 20 minutes and a group of 8 deer came walking in from the east. They were mostly young deer, and one spike buck was in the group too. After watching them for a bit I put the cross hairs on the biggest doe (only had a doe tag left), squeezed the trigger and the it dropped DRT.

    At 116 yards the factory 123gr Hornady SST took out a rib, did massive internal damage and did not exit, but I did not recover the bullet.

      It's a 20"AA barrel, in a AA upper receiver, Sryic adjustable gas block, Samson Evo handguard and a Kaw Valley Arms compensator on the end. The lower is also AA, with a generic lpk and a Kies nickel boron trigger group. All put together by me. :-)

                  2nd Blood Tonight.

                  My 15 year old son was using the rifle tonight and this guy came out of some tall grass at 33 yards. A factory Hornady 123r SST to the neck dropped it where it stood.
