chambered in the correct weapon can be very accurate also after all it's pretty much a big bore 6 mm ...PPC

I look at mine as a modern replacement for the 30/30 niche...

bullets from 85 grain HPs to 140 SPs, instead of just a 150 or 170 grain bullet...

last 3 seasons I've found myself grabbing that rifle when I head out the door...

a 100 grain Ballistic Tip, is a flat shooting game getter out of the Grendel..

we can only take on deer a season here, but I've had one fall to a 100 grain Ballistic Tip and one to a 140 grain Speer SP..
both under 150 yds, but the same rifle and scope combo will ring steel at 300 and 400 yds, over at the local range quite easily...

How do the 6.5 140s perform in the Gendel?
