The 47L is a fantastic round for 1760 or so in, not that it would be my first choice for any animal at distance due to energy. For competition 1250 yards and in the 47L is perfect. I am tempted to use the grendel at the SRM at Raton next weekend since all targets are 875 and in.
Wind, when read correctly, is not that evil or the 600 # gorilla. It just takes practice and rounds down range. For new shooters wind at max ord is the most effective way to eyeball wind without forgetting wind matters over the entire bullet flight path.
For the Grendel, I can not see the use of any other bullet than the 108 or 107 (although the bc for the 107 is horrible and excludes it). Find a load that the 108 and your gun like and run with it.
like I said before The 108 is nice but it falls subsonic at 1125 if 2950ftps is reached. The 123 a max launched at 2750 is supersonic to 1250 or so. The 108 may not be stable past the 1125. I guess my question should say whats better at extreme range for the grendel.
I do shoot to 1200 regularly and have room to a mile this is the reason for my question.
