Recently I was griping about my heavy Grendel AR, and decided to go with a 16 barrel to lighten it up. One other issue with the rifle is its length, with the 20 barrel. Just too long in small enclosed blinds. I keep clunking into things. But with the shorter barrel, Ill lose 100 fps, and the 123 gr SST isnt exactly screaming along in the first place. Im thinking about going to a lighter bullet. I just dug into the bullet pile, and have 100 of the 100 gr Nosler BTs, so I can switch to that, since I dont need them for the 260. Still, Id like to have another bullet option thats about that weight. That takes me to several options, none of which are considered actual hunting bullets. I have some 95 gr V-Max already, and have killed a big hog or two with that bullet, so it will work and is a relatively inexpensive plinking bullet. Another option, if they could be obtained is the Speer 90 TNT, and theres the 100 gr Sierra HP. Of the three, the V-Max, TNT, and Sierra HP, which do you consider to be the toughest for pig use with the Grendel. Im sure some of you serious pig blaster guys have tried them all.
