[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 2186080, member: 105102"] I hope I don't miss any questions in this.....if I do, sorry! First bullets were both Speer and Hornady SP, and shots were all broadside/slightly quartering, lung shots...... For those wanting more info, I feel like you are kinda making my point.......these have all been "perfect" vital shots under 200 yards, with quality bullets. I have recovered the bullets, and they are perfect mushrooms so they performed as designed.......it seems like even factory ammo under these conditions would out perform a Grendel just looking on paper.... I was looking at the Absolute Hammers, which is what got me thinking maybe I was looking at this wrong! As far as selling, this 600 is not the gem you're thinking of.....I cut 1" off the barrel to remove a bad rust spot, original stock was gone and overall it's rough......But it'll still shoot 1" which is plenty good for its application. 7-08 would be over kill for what I'm looking for......more coyotes get shot than deer, however I have been surprised what a little increase in bullet diameter seems to do. If I re barrel it will be to 6.5x47 or some .25 caliber round. I'm feeling better reading the responses so far, keep them coming! [/QUOTE]
