Game Tally 2014

[BluntForceTrauma]

Hey, guys, just for fun let's keep an annual tally of game taken with your 6.5 Grendel. Paul of "Buck2732" has volunteered to compile an annual tally, so even if you make a post on your hunt, consider also sending him a quick PM on your kill info so he can keep the list updated.

"The hoard", If you could include range and round used, I could included that as well.

Next year I would like to publish the results monthly.

Many thanks

1 coyote, 150 yards moving right to left, factory 123 SST
18" Sattern barrel
Just clipped the spine at the neck
very little damage

[Mountain Man]

(1) 110 lb whitetail doe taken at 53 yards with 123 A-MAX on top of 30.3 gr of CFE. 18" BBL

Hit low behind shoulder and exploded. Both lungs, bottom of Heart, and exit-side shoulder thoroughly destroyed. Bullet fragments found all over wound channel.

20% of deer's total meat wasted, not shooting anymore meat animals with A-MAX. Sorry for ranting, I should have chosen a different bullet though.

It might be worth including overall bullet performance on the tally, maybe a 1-5 (5 being highest) scale judged by the shooter on how well they think the bullet performed on the given target. I'd give the A-MAX a "2" for deer. It died quickly and not far away, but not in a manner I find acceptable for a meat target.

When you say "game". Do hogs crows and varmits count?

Hi guys! I am interested I ammo used maybe even loads with barrel length if you are willing to share. I finished my grendel one week after our gun hunting season so unfortunately I have nothing to add.
