(Minimum Impact Opening Velocity). Run this across a ballistics calculator at 2300 fps. 1000foot pounds at 500 yards, good for midwestern whitetail . 1300 fps @ 800 yards!
Yes but No. Close but no cigar. The Nosler 129 gr ABLR launched @ 2300 Fps retains 1,000 ft lbs to 300 yds (not 500) , and yes crosses the 1300 fps threshold @ 750 yds. (but that's close enough). But overall it still looks good, and is worth a 2nd look for the Grendel, at a weight that at first blush looks too heavy for the Grendel, but yet it's not......Thanks
