grendel and speed goat? - longrange dog - 05-20-2012

whats a good grendel antelope bullet, i use 140 sierras in my 260, but i see where most seem to be using stuff around 120 in grendels, and what would be a honest kill range for the grendel with 120 sierra pro hunters. thanks!

I have never hunted those critters but I have taken a passel of white tail. I have taken 12 in the last two days and my farthest with the grendel was this evening at 429 yards. Got a complete pass-through in the shoulder (in the left and out the right) using 123 Hornady A-Max. Mine is clocking in at 2474 fps

Again, no antelope, but 100 lb fla doe whitetail cant be much different. I've used 120gr sierra pro hunters out to 300 yards; never had a problem. I would use them out to 400 yards but they are not the most accurate in my rifle.

I am using 123 grain for Speed goat 400 yards is about max for me on these animals only do to Higher cross winds in WY, I have also found using the Burris ballistic plex reticle on max power lines up perfectly with the 6.5 ballistics out to 400 yards. Just a FYI

I shot this one with a 120 B-Tip.

If I recall it was a ~160 yard shot. Complete penetration for to aft quartering hard towards me. The bullet entered the brisket and exited in front of the rear ham. No sign of fragmentation.
