I'm in Louisiana so biggest thing I have taken with the grendel is whitetail deer and feral hogs and a 10 foot gator.

But I wouldn't have a issue taking it to hunt pronghorn, mule deer, sheep are elk. I would just keep my shoots at are under where my rifle hits expansion speed with whatever bullet I'm useing.

A big red deer... guessing it was about 120-140kgs

Shot it at about 80m with an eld-m at a MV of 2550fps (pass through) it walked about 20m and died

Hogs.w/90g TNT and 123g SST bullets.Both get the job done.
I don’t hunt deer in Florida. A friend of mine invited me to South Carolina to hunt deer on his land. If I decide to go,I’ll possibly take my 6.5 Grendel with 123 grain SST bullets and I feel confident it would easily get the job done.

We have a member on this board that used a CZ bolt action with 123 eld-m or 123 amax factory ammo, can't remember the load exactly to kill a moose at 100 yards.

I don’t know what the biggest hog is I’ve killed with my many Grendels but I can assure you I’ve killed plenty of hogs with them !

I have killed a few hogs. Never took the time to weigh them. Also got a few coyotes. I hope to get a deer this season.
