It went through and through, as well as fragmenting the block, and I was at 50 yards.
There don't seem to be any problems with a 123gr SST from a 16" barrel at 2450fps. Comparing the 100gr Wolf to a 147gr M80 will leave the M80 coming out ahead, but for a DMC, I would take the Grendel over 7.62x51 without reservation, logistics considerations equaled for both.
I would be interested to see what a 12.5" Grendel does with the 123gr. I can just put blocks out farther I guess. This kind of testing isn't on the top of my list, but it is fun.
