First season with the Grendel....It's a performer

[Maddvaper]

With all the this's and that's and especially the what not's I've read about this cartridge and especially bullet selection I shot 4 deer this year and found 3 of them using the 6.5 Grendel .First was at 200 yards with 100 gr A-max and it went maybe 10 steps .Second was 325 yards with a 95 gr V-max and again it went maybe 10 steps .Third and forth where at 225 yards and one went prolly 25 steps and I did not find the forth ,could of been bad bullet placement on my part ,could be the V-max is not the BEST selection on deer sized game but either way the 6.5 Grendel is a solid performer in my book and a welcome change after shooting 223 chambered ar-15's for 25 yrs.
Already looking forward to next years bullet selection's and load's and pretty amazed at the rifle's 500 yard "simplicity."

Sounds like you had a good year! Sorry the one got away.

Yeah, I would use bullets meant for medium game at that distance, something in the 100gr-130gr class, like a 123gr ELD-M, 123gr AMAX, 123gr SST, 129gr SST, or 129gr ABLR.

If you like to use lighter bullets try the 100 ttsx. I've used them with great success.

100 gr Nosler bt gets my vote for now.
