I'm finished for the year, we have 2 more weeks of doe season, but I will not be able to go again. I hunted exclusively with the Grendel this year. The 18" with suppressor was a little long for hunting in a blind. I shortened the Magpul ACS to help with manuverability in a blind. The 25 round mag and suppressor were nice for multiple shots on hogs. i added a Burriss Fastfire III for close in shots, it came in handy for 1 deer and some hogs. It sits on top of the scope and isnt in the way at all. Very nice for the close quick shots.
I used PA_Allen's load, 100 grain TTSX, 30 grains of 8028 XBR. They performed very well. The buck dropped in its tracks, the doe made it 20 yards. I never recovered one of the Barnes bullets.
I shot two 40 pound hogs with 1 shot. I waited until they lined up and shot, it went through and through on both. I had some hogs run on me, but that was mainly due to poor shot placement in the dark.
Not a great year for deer, but the freezer is full now. I'm very pleased with the Grendel.
Tally
2 deer
6 hogs
1 wild turkey
