I have shot a boat load of the factory Hornady ammo over the years in 6.5 Grendel especially their 123gr A-Max loads. Super accurate stuff! Today I picked up a box of Hornady Black ammunition loaded with the 123gr ELD-M. Thought I would give it a try in a Grendel carbine with a Alexander Arm M4. carbine contour barrel with mid length gas. I snatched a scope off another AR and mounted it on the Grendel carbine. Fired three rounds at 100 yards, making scope adjustments to get me fairly close to my point of aim. I then fired the 5 shot group bellow. I choked the 5th shot, its the one slightly out. I'm very impressed with the Hornady Black 123gr ELD-M factory offering. ![[Linked Image]](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k269/landonmoses/Mobile%20Uploads/8D6AF6D2-0A94-4AFF-B558-675A269ACE4B_zpsodspyadh.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k269/landonmoses/Mobile%20Uploads/9F9E8905-C8EC-4FB5-BDF6-0D8FCE6E50E6_zpsghsjawlp.jpg)

It's a Leupold 4.5-14x50 LRP (Long Range Precision) with the Impact 32 MOA reticle.

How do you like that buttstock? It's ok, I prefer the Magpul ACS-L.

Bought 100 rounds of 123gr SSTs for my bolt gun. At about a buck a pop, ain't hardly worth loading your own.
What fresh Hell is this?

I recently picked up some of the Hornady Black and have had the same experience. It hammers in my Grendels.

Looks damn good. Very nice rifle SMACK.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
