My neighbor whom I go on hog safari with almost every evening has acquired a 6.5 Grendel which he mounted on his previous .223 lower. After a little trying we settled on a load with Nosler 129 Accubond LR. The man that butchered the hogs taken with this loading reported them to have disintegrated bullets in them. Is the Nosler Accubond LR unduly frangible at Grendel speeds? I might note that one the hogs in question was hit at close to 300 yards. We don't have a known muzzle velocity but I don't think it could be exceptional with the 18 inch barrel and loaded with 28.5 grains of SRB 118 powder. So far the hogs have been going down pretty quick but I would hope a big game bullet would hold together. Shots on hogs are sometimes not precision and we need them gone so we take shots as they are presented. This week has been a very productive week for hogs after I had recently bragged about how we had just about gotten rid of 'em.
