SBR Grendel bullet - BjornF16 - 11-21-2015
Hit the range yesterday to sight in and adjust gas block on my new SBR Grendel upper.
Absolutely giddy shooting it suppressed! (Didn't bother shooting unsuppressed.) Was shooting AA 120 Noslers and Hornady factory 123 SST ammo.
Question: What bullet are y'all running for home defense on the SBRs?

I'm going to run a frangible.

SBR Grendel bullet - VASCAR2 - 11-21-2015
For a factory load I'd consider the 123 grain A-Max or Wolf/PPU 120 grain MPT/HP BT. In hand loads I really like the 100 grain Nosler BT hunting bullet. The Nosler bullet seems to have a good balance penetration and expansion, excellent accuracy and should reliabley feed in any AR-15 with low recoil. I load my 100 grain Nosler BT with 29.0 grains H335 with CCI 450 primers. Not super fast but very accurate in my 16" AR-15.
