    Just got my first Grendel. Need to know what factory loads work best for hogs.

    What rifle did you get?
    I’m waiting on my upper to come, should be here early next week. The wait is about to kill me.
    This is also my first Grendel.

      Welcome to the horde sir. Take a walk through our hunting section for ideas on what bullets you want to try on hogs.

          Welcome from the land of the Hershey Chocolate bar!

          A group of us has taken over a dozen hogs with the 123gr SST bullet. I like the 120gr Speer Gold Dot but have not taken anything with it yet.

            Welcome to the forum. I prefer Hornady SST as a factory load. I use Sierra 100gr as reloads

              Welcome to the Horde. Lots of bullets work well for Hogs. Double Naught Spy has been racking up the kills lately with factory loads and the 90gr TNT bullet. He ha some videos of hog kills with multiple other bullets. For quite a while he was using Hornady 123gr SSTs but has tested others.

              Myself I have used 123gr A-Max, SST, 129gr Accubond long range all worked well on hogs

                  Gig'em!

                  Hornady SST 123 works well.

                  Federal American Eagle Speer TNT 90 gr. works well.

                      Welcome from Leon County. I have been using Hornady SSTs 123s and recently Sierra Pro Hunter 120s. Both kill pigs, but sometimes take multiple hits. I just got some Gold Dots so those will be next.

                          Welcome from central Collin County! To repeat from above, go to the hunting section and follow DNS - he is the reigning expert on that subject.
