Thread: 6.5 grendel for hunting

the 123grn sst in the 7.62x39mm were the ducks nuts if your rifle liked them.....
its like anything projectile related,they all work if you put them in appropriate place...note I said appropriate not right...... wit ha varmit projectile thats either the crease with right angle or earhole....earhole being head or upper neck shots included... you relying on shallow severe wound to incapacitate aniaml who will die before recovering....Vs hard projectiles smack em in boiler room and take out front wheels at same time.... swap roles and your placement has to be 1000% spot on or animal can run off wounded.

and in these trying times of component shortage the answer to your question could well be "whatever the heck you can actually still buy"... many deer have died shot with 6.5mm FMJ..... ITS NOT PERFECT BY ANY MEANS but with correct shot placement...break shoulder bones to disrupt motion and hopefully create more internal trauma..... it worked. think of the SMLE and all the thousands of deer killed with them. same deal different decade.
