ok now that im home , i basically rushed all the shots just over a year ago i broke my left shoulder in 5 places sometimes when shooting prone witht he wieght on my shoulder it makes me a bit shakey , u can see the shake get worse as the video goes , thats why on the last shot i go way off target for a bit to get the wieght off my shoulder
i shoulda uploaded the other 2 vids from the farm since my internet there is 100x faster then at home one of them is another 3 out of 5 hit vid witht he eld-m's and just for the hell of it i put 10 rounds down range of the midsouth monster match bullets to compare in the last vid the mm bullets are all over the place as u will see

Nice, Mel. What elevation are you at? 1270 yards is stretching it!

Mel- You are a beast, sir! seriously nice shooting. I was shooting at 1300 yds the other day with a 6.5 SAUM, but with a Grendel, that is doing something! (of course I'm only at 1800 ft elevation).
Always look forward to your posts, you have a great place to shoot, I'm jealous.
Thanks for posting all your results, it helps us all.

ty
im unfortunatly out of 123g eld-m's only 123g bullets i have left are midsouth monster match bullets which will be a hail mary even at 1000y so im either going to order some eld-ms which i know are perfect out of my rifle or i may try 130g rdf's . i dont think i can get those 140 match bthp bullets moving fast enough for this range out of the grendel
when i build my 28inch barreled grendel things could get interesting
if im lucky my local gun shop will have a box of the eld-m's last time i looked though i think they only had the sst's
local gun shop only had sst's but they did order me 123g eld-m's have them end of week or monday
im going to do some testing with 140 eld-m tomorow while i wait

midsouth has a-tip sample packs i may be tempted to buy 1-2 packs for testing
