My idea of limited range, with the 129 SP or the 140 gr SPs, is 250 to 300 yds.
Deer I've taken weren't that far out, but practicing at the range, hitting steel targets at that distance has presented NO Problems.. The distance I have taken deer with the Grendal using those bullets were under 200 yds, but at the same time, those bullets drilled right thru the deer, so I don't see that declining at another 100 yds or so... especially the 140s have a high sectional density.
Using those same bullets in a Swedish Mauser in 6.5 x 55, and fueled with 30 grains of 4198, which equals the loads used back around the turn of the 20th century for those rifles, which is pretty much the MVs I get from the Grendal with them.
I have taken deer with the Mauser in excess of 300 yds, so I know they will work to that distance and beyond with the Grendal.
