Grendel strikes again

[Varmiter71]

How long of a barrel do you have.
It seems to me that the people that do good with the Grendel and 123gr have a 24" barrel, but the can might help velocity.

The CZ527 is 24" and the AR has a 20". Even at 400 i have not seen a difference in effectiveness, the CZ does shoot a little flatter. Gave a little thought to the barrel length when I put together the AR. Will never run a 24" on an AR ever again(ruins the handleing) and a 16" would give up too much velocity so it was down to an 18" or 20"....went with 20 and dont regret it.
I have three cronies but havnt used them in years...the accurate load gets the vote and field shooting determines holdovers/clicks.
Cant say if the can helps velocity but doubt it hurts. The point of impact definitely changes with and without the can! I just run the can

It's been awhile since I've seen a Horny Toad. Lots of antelope, so that was a treat.

Hey, wait! AR's are not for hunting, or so we're told.
Congrats on a nice hunt and a great memory.

Good job

Used to think the AR was questionable for hunting but a lot has changed since the old Colt HBAR!
These days you can put together about any confiureation and calibar you need. The 6.5 Grendel, 300bo, and 450 Bushmaster have turned them into very viable hunting units....at least for me, the anti's of coarse will lie too thier ignorence Top is the Grendel Suppressor is on the blackout The little bastard is an old school 223 The bottom unit is the 450 Bushmaster

Add another one for the little Grendel. Daughter filled her tag with the 20"AR with 123eld at 325

Dang now I feel like I'm taking way overkill with my 264 Win Mag Improved with 156 Bergers at 3200fps.

 

[MachV]

Too much gun! The 123eld totally scraped the one shoulder, the 156 would have gottem both no doubt Was thinking about turning the Grendel loose on elk but after this autopsy I'll stick with the 338

I agree on effectiveness on mid to smaller game.
Underrated… perhaps.
I've killed coyotes with AR loaded with 90 gr. TNT and Varmegaddon.
Lucked out and found some old 100 grain Partitions and Ballistic Tip. Drops deer cleanly with good shot placement from my Howa Mini suppressed rifle.
Wouldn't push my luck with anything larger.

I have, taken 4 stag with my Grendel and the 97-99 hammers. None went more than 20-30 yards. Great little round. Killed lots of audad and hogs with it. 100gr tough bullets are where it's at with that round.
Congratulations on the hunt, I have found more pleasure in who I'm with in recent years than what I shoot. Can't wait for my boys to be able to go with me.
