I shoot Contenders in calibers ranging from 22lr to 45-70 but have never gotten a Grendel barrel, or lets say I have yet to get one one. As far as hunting ammo goes there are several options, but I have currently settled on handloads with the 129gr Nosler Accubond Long Range. PF loads for it and Nosler is bringing it out in a loaded round if it is not available already. They expand very well and yet hold together. I have not shot anything yet with the ELD-M but the old 123gr Amax is a killer in this cartridge.
