The 120gr+ bullets are more ideal for medium game in the Grendel, with the 100gr TSX being as long or longer than many of the 120gr class pills. Check the projectile selection spreadsheet in the reloading section. There are a ton of hunting bullets in this caliber, and many of the guys that have posted here like the Barnes, 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips, and 129gr Hornady SST's. With your bolt gun, you'll be able to get more velocity from the Grendel, since it is a case capable of at least 60,000 psi. Moderate velocity hits on medium game with high sectional density bullets will give you great results. The lighter varmint bullets like the 85gr Sierra, 90gr TNT, 95gr VMAX, and 100gr NBT are more likely to come apart on the surface of the animal. They are really suited to small game.
