FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - PharmerJon - 01-29-2022 Bet you second guessed clicking on this thread! Ha https://flic.kr/p/2mZR7La Picked up a 12” barrel off a member here (Red Dawn) for my first Grendel experience. Assembled and patiently waited for a nicer day to get it sighted in. I was able to sneak out this morning and get it bloody. Last weekend of doe season in Nebraska. 297 yards Hornady Black 123gr ELD-M Dead right there. Tiny entrance and no exit. FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - sundowner - 01-30-2022 Congrats on the doe . FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - peak98 - 01-31-2022 Sweet! Congratulations on the doe and a fine shot, 300y is a pretty long poke. peak98 FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - BluntForceTrauma - 01-31-2022 Congrats! What can? FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - PharmerJon - 01-31-2022 AAC SDN-6. Bolt actions have direct thread ThunderBeast 30P-1. They’re old, but still get the job done. FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - burnsy13 - 01-31-2022 Fellow 12" suppressed SBR Nebraskan here! Great job, I'm glad you got one in time FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - LRRPF52 - 02-01-2022 That’s awesome. FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - Stinky Coyote - 02-03-2022 you best give us a pic of that recovered bullet then, and maybe weight of bullet, and also if you don't mind, give us the muzzle velocity out of that little booger and the elevation where you shot that deer...I'll go full ballistics nerd on that for ya just give me all that info please oh, congrats, nice shootin in the meantime I'd guess 2300 fps launch, 3000' elevation, 1875 fps impact, so it would be nice to see that bullet and finalize some of these details, good example nearing the 1800 fps impact I had from a 16" at 420 yards this year but I had an exit so never got to see the bullet FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - PharmerJon - 02-04-2022 Aw man! I always forget something I’ll do better next time because that would be good info to gather. I’m at right around 2000’ elevation. 2225 fps at 25*F when I shot the sight in rounds. My ballistic calc had impact at approx 1785fps. Dialed up 1.9 mils -Jon FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - Bottomfeeder - 02-06-2022 Sweet set up! You get a lot of crud in your can from using the short barrel? FOOTLONG ‘Monster’ got it done! - PharmerJon - 02-06-2022 Not that I’ve noticed.
