neandrakall Wrote:Thanks Guys!! Good input. So if I zero my scope at 300 yards, will I have to hold under for say a 100 or 150 yard shot? And once I begin reloading I plan on setting my rifle up for one specific load. Weather it is 100gr or a bit larger. Maybe you have some good input on that as well?? As soon as winter breaks I will be at the range using this info that has been given to me.
ND:
Depends on the kill zone size. We are talking what hunters call a Point Blank Zero and the military calls a Battle Sight Zero. What ever elevation setting you select depends on; (1), whether or not you care about using such a zero; (2) the size of your kill zone in height; (3) what you believe is your average engagement range.
I would use a 115, 120, or 123 grain bullet with the Grendel as you can get about the best velocity while maintaining magazine length. And, in hunting terms when using a cartridge that does not produce high velocities, I would rather go with kinetic energy as a major factor than hoping a bullet will open up.
