Kinda a one bullet kind of guy.Those of you that have shot the cartridge for a while and know what the little fellow will do chime in. For years I've used 87gr Sierra in the 257 Bob at 2970 fps for everything from rhodents to deer and was never disappointed. Limited shots to 300yds, most less than 200yds, some even closer and always killed what I was aiming at. Is there one bullet that does it all in the grendel? I'd like to find some of the 100 gr Hornady eld and work up a load for the howa mini and shoot throgh the colder months, but, alass they are no where to be found. Thought about the 100 gr Nosler hpbt but haven't found much good news for them on the net. My next thoughts went to the 120gr class, either Sierra hpbt or the Hornady 120 eld as ther are quite a few loads available on the net. Most of my shooting in Kansas is in cattle country of the flint hills and long shots are 300yds with the Kansas wind(10 to 35mph pretty common) limiting that most days.
