There's a 2-vol set of grendel handbooks for sale on here, that I got when I was starting out. Lots of info applicable to shooting and hunting in general but covers the Grendel about the best you can ask for.
In the AR15 build box threads of the Industry partners part of this forum. I'd recommend you get those books, not expensive at all for the wealth of info you get.
My own personal limit for grendel is ~200 yds, which is based on terminal ballistics of the bullet plus my own estimation of my abilities while in the woods. I try to have the ammo that would work out to 250, hunting is far different than just smacking something with some lead... like the others have already said. Of course I shoot out here in the eastern US so a 200 yd shot is a rarity. Most of my hunting is around 100 yds on in, with an occasional 150-200.
If you want to ethically bring down game at 300-500 yds then you should be looking at a 6.5 creedmoor or even a tad heavier of a rifle... and I would suggest a bolt action as well. Nothing wrong with one shot one kill with a bolt action.
