270 lb Boar Down With Berger Grendel VLD-Hunting

[Shootin4fun]

As for the higher velocity, the one hog I shot with a 90 gr. Speer TNT round going about 2750 fps from my Grendel was a broadside neck shot.

That is impressive velocity out of a Grendel. Almost that of a 243. What is the barrel length?

DNS,

Thanks for the necropsy and the write-up!

I think I'll stick with the Barnes bullets. I've heard many stories about what the Berger bullets can do, but for my hunting conditions, the Barnes have proven effective.

I'm not sure if it is the extra velocity or what, but medium size hogs (~200 lbs) I've killed with a 270 using 130 TSX @ 2900 dropped like a stone at 150 - 250 yards, despite not hitting CNS or spine. Heart shot, shoulder shot, neck shot (spine powerized) it knocks them sideways a little, drills through, and pulverizes everything between the 2 holes. DRT, maybe 1 step before they fall over. Quarter sized exit, little meat loss, no shrapnel in my sausage.

I moved to Texas, a new state for me, so now maybe time for a new rifle...
