Wait I thought we were talking about hunting deer with Grendel? God knows a 308 can take a deer. Just saying!

Shot a small buck Friday in New Hampshire with factory 123Gr. Amax. Complete pass through with 1.25" exit hole, everything in between was mush. I beleive it worked better than a nosler ballistic tip... the last deer I shot with a .308 cal ballistic tip had a 30 cal entrance hole and no exit... just a 2" circle of tiny bullet fragments on the opposite side rib cage. Looked like a mini shot gun pattern.

I think I'll use 100 Gr. Amax's next year wHen I go antelope hunting in Wyoming. It should shoot flatter and still do the job.
Small 75# deer... but very tender, and good eating.

Man am I jealous. Our gun season doesn't start for a couple of more weeks. Sad

I've taken mine for long walks in the woods. You have to actually shoot something to call it hunting..... LOL

Drew blood with mine this weekend. Typical hill country doe at about 100 yds w/ 100 gr NBT. High shoulder shot, full pass through, 1" exit, took ribs & lung tissue with it. Dropped in her tracks.
