Finally got time to shoot some loads with the Grendel and the 130gr ELD-M from Hornady.
Loaded up 4 different loads with 5 shots each.
Powder is VV N140.

The average speed from this four loads feels that I have found a good node here.
The SD and ES is on the other hand quite high. Got this results on the first try also. Maybe it is the powder....?
Either way.
I have once again settled for the 28,3gr of N140. If I check the previous data with this load i have got almost the same speed so it feels that this will be a stable node.
Its the SD and ES that are too high. But maybe it will preform on target good enough for my needs.
Will continue to test jump next.
