[QUOTE="smcdurmon, post: 1640704, member: 93975"] Yeah, it should make for a nice light carrying rifle. I've killed 2 with 90gr TNT, 2 with 123gr A-max and 2 with 123gr ELD Match. All worked well and all but 1 dropped on the spot, but he didn't make it more than 30yds. Longest shot so far was 232yds and most were around the 100yd range. I've heard mixed results with the 130gr Bergers at Grendel speeds. I was going to try them, but decided not to after reading how some didn't expand at lower velocity. I'm leaning towards the 129gr Accubond LR since they are said to expand at below 1,400fps. There is another company (Maker Bullets) that make bullets similar to Hammers here in Georgia. I've seen a couple of test with them and they look like a viable choice also. I thought about getting some Tipped 85gr or 95gr to try. They also expand reliably at lower Grendel velocities.
