    Shot three deer this weekend all with 123 sst. One neck shot and two shoulder shot. None had exit wounds that led to no blood trail. With that said we found two of the bullets inside the deer and the mushroomed really good and the deer did not run far. I am a little concerned on what would have happened if shot placement wasn't as good.

      The shadow and I did it again yesterday. I haven’t had time to write up a post, but I shot this 11pt at 210 yds with a 12.5” barreled 6.5 Grendel. Dropped in its tracks. He was larger than I thought. 175 lbs on the hoof.

        Not to rude but DUH! Each of those use almost twice the powder.

        My son and I have killed a boatload of animals with the Grendel.

        Even used those non expanding Barnes bullets! [emoji12]

          Ha! After threads with you and Outbreaker I'm sold that if I pick up a grendel upper I'd start with the Noslers.

          And agreed: DUH!

                Here’s a smoking deal on a good 6.5 Grendel barrel.

                    LOL, thanks Bones....Just "down winding" from a long week hunting and I was glad to see your reply on this OP.

                    Once more....guess the Grendel did the job for me! 6.5 Grendel, 123 Grain SST. One shot, ran about 30 yards, DRT..."heart lung shot, heart was mush."
