According to the site I linked above the 107 HP SMK BC G1 .430 out of my 24" 6.5 G, running at 2700fps will require 208" of hold over at 800yds at 1312fps...at sea level. In my example above I only substituted the 2200fps and left everything else the same. If I had used A5B's velocity of 2278fps...it wouldn't change it a ton from 331" of hold over.
It's a poke in an ones book! IMO doing this with hold over vs dialing up the shot...hold over is hugely more difficult.
Cap - shoot it at 800 and report back. Hell, you shoot 600, go do that and report back. You're a keyboard warrior, here and on your calculation. We here are all about Grendel because it's proven it's abilities - and the rest of us heathens are waiting for you. With open arms, a beer, and a chair at the fireside. You'll be welcome, and soon enough loving your own short barrelled Grendel with us, calling out those nay sayers who just can't believe the hype.
Here in the real world, I shoot my 18" Grendel at 800, and if I do my part, its point and shoot on an IPSC all day long. Stupid easy. I quit shooting at the ipsic because it's no challenge. My 12.7" just requires a bit more elevation, same story. Come on over. I'll show you.
