What he said.
You'll need something with the highest BC around the 123gn mark and push the boundaries of what the bolt will take (carry a spare). Bullets will be subsonic by 1,200 and will be flying like they are drunk. Group sizes will start blowing out 800-900 with that 22" barrel and shot-to-shot will be less predictable. If anyone else has a heavier calibre you will not be competitive, unless they cannot shoot. Grendel is an intermediate calibre and good for what it is - but not long range.
