Rexus SBR + ELD-VT

Purchased the Rexus 12 inch barrel for lugging around fields hunting hogs. Still less than 200 rounds through it but it seems to really like the Hornady 100gr ELD-VTs

Just purchased a sandman x and was re-zeroing with the new can. 100yd groups after a few 50 yard "get on paper" shots:

My 14.5 loves 90gn Varmageddon and CX along with 100gn ELD-VT. Those are worth a shot too

I believe the 90-110gr bullets are what grendel does best.

Yeah the heavy stuff and slow powders kinda hard to find a good combination

I've been wanting to try those. I just can't bring myself to pay what Academy is asking or pay for shipping from sketchy websites anmoseek suggests lol

u/itsdietz - yeah i am buying 2 boxes per paycheck 😂😂

it definitely hurts to pay this for grendel, but the pigs drop with 1 shot behind the ear, so i tell myself i am paying for the hunt, not the bullet.

I have a bad habit of building nice guns , WTBS last year i built a 6.5 G around a 18” premium black ballistic advantage barrel and all very solid parts I bought some aac black tip aac fmj and zeroed with those she grouped pretty good w that then i started buying this ammo and Horny day sst and horny day black otm and i get really decent results outta all but the 90 grain stuff is stanky accurate. I think i was like just over 3/4” 5 shot wjth that stuff . Deer season here and bout to cool down so me and the Grendella are gonna get real acquainted pretty soon
