Hello Grendel Horde, new member from Missouri here. I had seen the name of the caliber around here and there but never gave it much thought until recently when I was looking hard at a .223 Wylde upper to go on a lower I was completing. I started thinking about AR calibers more versatile than .223 and wound up with a crazy cheap Bear Creek Arsenal 18" that shoots better than it should for what I paid. It's no Shilen...I had to find what it likes. But once I did, it stacks pretty amazing little sub-moa groups and is a pure joy to shoot. Couldn't be any happier unless it was free.
Here to see how everyone else is loading for theirs.
Cheers!

Welcome to the clan, 8C, from the great nation of Texas! Tell us a bit about your goals. BCA has come a long way in cleaning up their act, but it still takes "operator interention" to get the best from 'em.

I don't live in an area with feral hogs, so as much as I'd love to put some wild hog in the freezer, I imagine I'll use it mostly for coyotes. I'd also like to work up a good deer load if I could find some decent bullets. I really like copper solids in my other calibers but I can't seem to find anything smaller than 120 gr right now. Even if I found something smaller it isn't clear to me if the Grendel would push them fast enough to get good, consistent expansion. I do ring a little steel on occasion and I figured the 95 gr VMax load I worked up would be good for that and coyotes.

Give 90 gr Speer TNTs a try with H-335. Sub MOA with 24" SS BCA. Absolutely no problems with BCA upper and the price was reasonable.
