The Grendel currently wears a March 3-24FFP as I am doing load development. The hunting scope will be a 2-7x36 Kahles.
So far I have ladder tested three different powders under the 100gn NBT but have not found a load I like. I am going back to the loading bench to work it up systematicaly as I become sidetracked with chasing low ES and SD numbers and whilst I managed to get them down to the single digit level with 3000fps type velocities, the accuracy was only 1.5in. The PacNor select match can do better than that.
I intend to go back to using AR2206H (H4895 in the USA) and BM2 (Bnechmark) to work with the 108gn Scenars first, then go back to the 100gn NBTs and 100gn TTSXs. I started with the hunting bullets in the hope of lucking out with a good hunting round straight away so I could use it on some Fallow deer this season. The weather has been so wet, many of the dirt roads to my hunting blocks are still cut at creeks.
