Welcome, Reaper1. The Grendel is legal here in Washington & Idaho. Though I haven't hunted with it yet (still building), I don't see any problem with using it for most species ... within reason. 6.5mm bullets have been dropping moose in Scandinavia for over 100 years, but those bullets were out of a 6.5x55, about 160-grains and faster than a Grendel. That said, I've been hunting whitetails all my life and all the deer I've shot with a .30-30 and .30-'06 I have no doubt would be just as dead had I used a Grendel and a good 120-grain bullet. The bull elk I dropped a few years ago (grazing, broadside, 360 yards, 7mm 165gr Sierra through the lungs) would probably have fallen to a Grendel as well. I wouldn't choose a Grendel to go specifically elk hunting, but I have no doubt it'll get the job done if the circumstances were right. My Grendel is being built with deer & wolves in mind.
