    Deer/Pronghorn/Sheep/Mule Deer Caliber

    I still like my 6.5s, I use the Grendels for under 600 or thin-ish hides, and the Creed for 600+ or thicker hides. Since 2009, I've never had to track anything past 50-60 yards from where it was hit. Did have to use a follow up shot once after a bad wind call though

    Glock 20 10mm holster options

    Look at the 2A Litepath chest holster, you'll see my review on their site

    Who else is hunting with a 6.5 Grendel?

    I haven't recovered them all the way down to 1300 yet, but I have from down to 1400 on gel and a few ELR distance pigs and they've definitely done their jobs. I plan on hanging a few pig carcasses this spring for a little impromptu testing along with some gel shooting on a few more different...

    MTN Ops vs?

    I'll second the ON Amino Energy, but it is a hair different in it's bcaa content, and it gives me the caffeine jitters on occasion where the Ignite doesn't. On a side note, Ignite does seem to work for me for concentration, I made it though 1000rds of 10mm on a single stage without getting...

    Barrett owners, help!! POI shift.....

    They most certainly ARE supposed to shoot to the same POI from cold fouled bore to warm fouled bore

    I remember those days, fun times! I'm guessing Army and not Navy?

    Who else is hunting with a 6.5 Grendel?

    One of my old soldiers likes them in his Creedmoor, so it might just be that they need a bit faster push than the Grendel is capable of. Just to reassure anyone who might get the wrong idea on some shots I take, rest assured that I am a humane hunter and won't take shots that are questionable...

    Who else is hunting with a 6.5 Grendel?

    Haven't heard much either way about the game changer but I've had less than stellar performance from the eldx in most of my barrels. I've had decent groups from eldm, but I wouldn't use that bullet on game. SST have worked quite a bit better, and the ablr has been about as close to magic as I've...

    Who else is hunting with a 6.5 Grendel?

    Definitely off, but only on your data input, not your math. You can see on my ablr load my 11" is still above the bullet's expansion threshold at 800yds. That's 800yds at my range, which is 3000-4000 ft below where I usually hunt - - - Updated - - - Yeah, strelok likes to hang and do some...

    "Two Legged Predator" Encounters?

    I also carry a G20, depending on whereabouts it's either hardcast, 200gr XTPs, or 180gr XTPs, all handloads. Shot hardcast in the stock barrel a few times, but use aftermarket because it's easier on my brass with nuke level loads. Also have an 8.5" barreled AR in 10mm that I keep in the truck at...

    Kinda new, kinda not

    Registered here some time ago and made a few posts while I was stationed in CA and looking for someone to predator hunt with, but list access to the email I used and couldn't remember my sign in. Fast forward to a few lifetimes later and now I'm a civilian and re-registered. Name is Jeff, live...

    Accubond performance??

    Same as everyone else, shooting 129 accubond LR from various Grendels and Creedmoors. 1300fps expansion threshold and a killer b.c.

    Barrett owners, help!! POI shift.....

    Clean bore to fouled bore definitely has a difference, but fouled cold bore to fouled warm (not overheated hot, or temp sensitive powder in a round sitting in a hot chamber) does NOT have a shift unless there is a mechanical problem with the weapon. Sometimes it is a mechanical issue, 97% of the...
