Ok, I haven't got in the garage yet to work on the chambering issues I had posted on the troubleshooting forum. But, I wanted to get some of my other questions going before I did.
I got on a new deer lease this year, and I'll be able to take shots in dense woods, as well as out to 600-700 yards if I want. I know 700 yards is probably out of the effective range of the Grendel for hunting, but I was wondering what bullet/load you all suggested. Right now I've got some 100 gran Nosler BT's. These seem to work really well for me accuracy wise, and they have a low expansion velocity (1,600fps) which puts my theoretical effective range to about 450-500 yards. I'm getting right at 2,600 fps out of my 16". I know, sounds fast. There is a little bit of ejector marks, but primers look good. I get ejector marks no matter what load I use.
Has anyone had any personal experience with any bullets on deer (usually in my area deer are less than 150lbs) size game at ranges of 500-600 yards?
