Good video. 6.5 grendel has become my favorite go to cartridge for hogs and deer up to 300 yards. I'm curious about the water jug. You didn't mention the distance. Thanks for sharing!
Maybe hand loading will make these bullets worse the while. I don't think there's enough difference between your handloads.And the factory loads to warrant anything great. Obviously you're on the right track with your Grendel. Hope your handloads do better. Shooting inside six hundred yards it's a wash.
Thanks for posting!!! I really wonder what these ELD-V/T's look like. I mean compared to a 123gn. Are they the same length? If that's the case, then there won't be much difference inside of 400 - 500 yards. For the distance available to you, what kind of difference is there between these 100gn projectiles and the 123's? It seems 5gn weight difference isn't enough to make a difference inside of 400 yatds. Outstanding video!!! Thanks for showing us the difference in these two rounds.
I thought that the grendel really just needed a little less weight to get that extra velocity. This might be the trick or a lighter weight all copper slug. I think the lighter weight is key especially in shorter barrels along with the higher bc's.
They are fine in handloads. Hodgdon have done recent testing using a bunch of powders, now on their website. Have heard mixed results on flesh/hunting. Some talk of them penciling through like an FMJ. Haven't used them hunting yet so can't comment.
Awesome video! Thank you for this!

They are 31.6mm long, 5.4mm at the base, and 4.37mm length of boat tail.

You cannot compare drop test if your muzzel velocity is not the same for both projectiles.
Why not?
Just picked up 100rds of this about 2 weeks ago haven’t really had much time to test though
I just shot some last week. My rifle doesn’t like it. 2” 10 shot groups @ 100. Every case had an ejector swipe.

👍👍
Sure it's more accurate, but it's definitely NOT $40/bx more accurate. I'll stick to my handloads, thank you very much.
Now, try to find IMR 8208 XBR!
Very hard to do! I have some left but wish I could get my hands on some more.
