Thread: 6.5 Grendel sst vs eldm

Yes the voice of reason is to stick to the accurate proven load but there's always the little voice saying the grass is greener elsewhere. I'm thinking I'll grab another pack of sst and maybe pick up a sample pack of eldm from gunworks just to check them out. They do seem to be favored by a lot of grendel users that's for sure.

The last yearling red I shot was 260m and I centre punched it I the shoulder but it made it uphill another 50m before it got groggy and tumbled over. That was the main reason I started to wonder if a different projectile might be better.

What is softer, the sst or eldm?

The running 50m is normal with a chest shot for any bullet/calibre depending on the situation, especially if you dont break bones or hit CNS. Changing bullets likely won't make any difference on that shot at grendel velocities.

The ELDM will be softer as it has a thinner jacket.
