Highest BC Bullet... ????

BJ:

Not really sure what you want out of all of this.

........

LR-55

Here's what I want......

When I go to the range it is for 4-5 hours. I shoot a lot and it is nice to have a couple of long range guns with little recoil, to give me some relief from the "Big Sticks". I can't sit there and shoot 200 rounds out of my 7mm Mag all day. It's too punishing. So I have a .223 and now a Grendel to rotate and shoot with little recoil. I live by the moto... "Practice, practice.... practice"

So I am sitting on the "ELR Steel Range", on a cement bench that is 1000-2000 yards and I am not changing ranges and benches once I get set up with Chrono and Spotting Scope and ammo and guns and cases... etc.....

So I need the Grendel to perform on the ELR and would like to try and hit some steels with it at 1 mile and maybe 2000 yards. When you run the Hornady calculator for the Grendel, it is very, very appealing with a 147g that has a BC of .697. out in the 1k-2k range. 147 is far better than the 123.

Also, I usually "hand, single-feed".... Don't care if they fit in the mag.

At the end of the day, I have the 147g pills and I will reload them and give them a go and report back here what I learn. I just wondered if anyone had any data to share.


Buy the way, this is my .223 and with my 67gr hand-loads, it easily plays out to 1,400 yards. Savage Model 12, Heavy, Stainless 26" Barrel, 6-24x Optics.
