[QUOTE="Huckleberry75, post: 2011226, member: 104886"] The 130 is a little on the heavy side for the Grendel, in my humble opinion, so I wonder if it had enough velocity for the bullet to perform/upset properly. The 120 Gold Dot is an old tried and true hunting bullet in the grendel and there have been a lot of critters dropped with the 123 eldm/amax which tend to upset a little more explosively. I just picked up some Sierra 120gn Pro-hunters to try in my grendel. Since I am not planning on shots over 200 with this rig, I am less worried about the loss in bc as compared to the 120 Gold Dot. Might be something to try in your grendel, especially on pigs, since they tend carry a low rate of guilty conscience if not recovered. (Not sure that I am allowed to confess to only planning on shooting 200yds or less and a lack of regard to BC on this forum 😃 ) [/QUOTE]
