What hunting bullets do you like for your Grendels?
I'm loading for a CZ 527 with 1:8 twist, 16.5" barrel and another CZ 527 Custom Grendel with 1:8.5 twist. I've been shooting 100gr bullets primarily. I went through a number of different bullets over the years, but had a hard time finding something that was both shooting well and giving me good terminal ballistics. In my custom Grendel, I had excellent accuracy results with 107gr Sierra SMKs and maybe even better results with 100gr AMAX, neither of which are hunting bullets though.
Two or three years ago I started using Nosler 100gr Ballistic Tips that seem to fit the bill. I've had some excellent accuracy results out of both rifles with these bullets, and I've had good effectiveness on game from deer to fox.
I'm thinking I might like to move up to a larger bullet just to get a little better trajectory past 200 yards. I've been thinking I'm going to try the same bullet, Nosler BTs, just move it up to 120gr. But thought I'd ask here for other suggestions.
Thanks!
