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

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.
