Of all the Lilja barrels I've chronographed, with various loads, over the past 4 years, I haven't seen any appreciable difference between that and other barrels of the same lengths.
Hornady said they really like the predictable behavior of Grendel on target because it doesn't suffer from a lot of high speed impact challenges of larger case capacity cartridges, giving very uniform wound channels along the intended path of the POA.
As to bullet drop, once you have your zero, even the difference between a 2300fps load and a 2700fps load won't matter much within 200yds, and is only 2" difference with a 100yd zero.
