6.5 Grendel Deer hunting?
« on: April 12, 2020, 05:43:11 PM »
Hey guys/girls, who has or is using a 6.5 Grendel for deer. I have one and plan on using it this year. Any pros or cons you have noticed?. Good penetration? Distance? Thanks, Jason

Ballistically It should be Just fine for Medium Sized Game  as long as Hunting  Bullets are Used

I've used one but haven't harvested with one yet. If you keep your range reasonable I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I was planning on keeping it under 300 yards.
