myrifle Wrote:To the best of my knowledge I am the only bolt grendel owner to ever safely get over the 3000fps mark, actually hitting 3300fps with a 85 grain maker trex from my cz 527 varmint grendel.Great advice. i own a true speed deamon. A Teka 204 Ruger. Nothing else comes close but maybe a 22-250 I had years ago. Over 4000 FPS pushing a 32 gr boolit. It actually creates a vapor trail on some days. I hit a Pennsylvania coyote that was a legend. Big dark brown coyote. My bro-in-law said thats Big Brown. He was about 250 yards away. I hit him just behind the shoulder. He fell like now and hard. Didnt take a step. We were both amazed. Took it to give to a taxidermist my bro-in-law knew. He called him and asked What the he!l did you shoot him with? Evidently his internals were like mush 3 inches on each side of the wound channel. The 204 boolit was never found. Not even a piece of the jacket. After shooting that rifle, everything else seems slow. I would like to try a bolt @3000 fps. Take care
I wont give you the load details. Let me say this straight out. Give up and dont chance this idea. It's a waist of time, powder, primers,bullets and you will kill your brass life on the first or second shoot.
Dont chase it, it's not worth it, if you need over 3000fps step up too the short action rounds. The grendel just doesnt have the powder capacity vs brass thickness/strength too push it like that.
