625 total samples in the survey of harvested animals at the time of that table, which was put together by NugginFutz.
That Chart encapsulates most everything in NA. It gives me more confidence to use the Grendel.
I think I mentioned I have some loads of 120gr TTSX in 25, 26, 27, 27.5 and 28 loads. On the Hornady side they give 28.3 as max. I need to get these up to the range to test out. My gut tells me that the 120gr TTSX will take down pretty much anything I come in contact with. I split the last grain in half, the Hornady load data states 25.2 min to 28.0 max. I will test my actual velocity from a 16" 1:8 twist barrel. I know this will be more than enough for pigs. The bears are my bigger concern, but the Grendel seems to take black bear without much issue.
