A couple of years ago I shot 2 small (maybe 110 lbs) does with the AR Grendel with the 14" (plus flash hider) barrel. Load was 129gr Hornady SPIRE POINT and if remember right about 29.6 gr of BLC (2). I have no idea of velocity but range was 150-175 yards. Chest shots they went right down. Did the same with a 135 lb buck. A frontal chest shot 175-200 yards and a Swift 130gr Scilrroco. bullet did pentrate through heart.The buck ran 50-60 yards and the bullet recovered from flank skin. It had opened up and if memory serve weighed between 90 and 100 grains. Please keep us informed of your work with the 14" encore.
