First deer with the Grendel - natebonebusta - 12-04-2023
I like the way @trubulator listed his deer taken and since posting a photo on the mobile version of this forum is evading my tech capabilities here goes.
Doe 110ish pounds. She was harder quartering to than I thought. Hit her in the base of the neck/shoulder and exited mid lung. I saw her drop in the scope as the rifle was recovering from recoil. Shot was 43 yards.
Rifle: Howa 1500 mini action 18.5 barrel harvester 300
Load: 27.9gr h335, 2.250, 123gr sst, 2,464fps
I really like the punch this little round packs!
