I have tuned hand loads for both guns. The 35 is using the 180 grain Speer bullet that has a reputation for being on the hard side for 35 Rem, so should be fine for elk within reasonable range My Grendel loads are based on the 123 grain SST. I would only be interested in a breadbasket shot with either rifle on a cow.
