What factory loaded ammo would you guys recommend for white tail hunting inside of 150 yards out of an 18" barrel (if that makes a difference). Are there factory loads available that might not expand if traveling too fast? Wish they made core-loc's for the Grendel, that's all I ever use in my 308.

Box of 50. Solid copper (no lead in your meat). Remember its for hunting and not plinking. It would probably take me 10 years to shoot 50 deer/ hogs. There are other options as well on their website like 100grain etc...

Precision Firearms basically makes custom, precision loaded ammo and you pay for custom, precision loaded ammo. PF has very good QC. The TTSX is a premium priced bullet compared to something like an SST or Federal Fusion soft point, but of which you can get, factory loaded for about $20 +/- for 20 rounds and will do the job nicely, but do contain lead. In my limited experience with PF ammo and much more with Hornady, PF has a smaller standard deviation on the velocity, but the difference likely won't be significant for how most folks hunt and not for only 150 yards.Kill a hog. Save the planet.

I wouldn't worry about not expanding but more about exploding. But I don't think grindel velocities even at 20 yd are to fast for most available loads. I would stick to hunting bullets such as 123sst and you should be fine. I like the idea of factory loaded lead free but PF prices are driving me to start reloading.Last edited by Troutguide; 07-23-2017, 04:13 AM."I rarely give a definite answer" - TG

With the PF barnes bullet loads if you counted the cost to the average reloader they are not making much on the ammo at that price. I am sure they get the components at a better price but at Midway prices it is about $2 a round.
For less expensive ammo that will work Hornady SST or Federal Fusion will work well.

Hornady 123 gr SST for the win .. Fairly cheap for factory ammo and will do real well if you place your shots in the engine room
If you get into handloading look closely at 120 gr Nosler BT's Great deer bulletLast edited by Smoke; 07-29-2017, 03:18 PM.I was here once .. Got killed by the site .. Back again but not much

SST's are effective, but destructive inside of 50 yds. Bullet placement is key as always.Nebraska Firearms Owners Association. https://nebraskafirearms.org/wp/
