    Default New Pig Rifle

    I have a Precision Firearms Upper on its way chambered in 6.5 Grendel. Has a 20" bull barrel. It sure seems to me that it will be a good pig hunting caliber. Loaded up some 100gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips last night so I can get it sighted in next weekend.

    All I have are these very small photos from Precision's website.







    I did take a photo of a reload I just put together with a Nosler 100gr. Ballistic Tip. At 2700 fps, it should do the job.



    As soon as it comes in and I get the scope mounted I'll do some better photos.

    Easy there, with an over weight, over the hill senior citizen, let's not set the standards too high....and unachievable.

    Default grendel reloads

    Let us know how those reloads do. I'll be testing some 120gr Sierra Pro-hunter and Hornady 129gr Interbonds this weekend from my 14.5" grendel and a friend's 20" grendel for groups this weekend.

    Finally got the 6.5 Grendel out last weekend.





    I loaded 12 rounds for sighting and first loads. They are 100 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips over H322.

    It took two shots at 50 yds. to get to black. Moved the target back to 100 yds. and it took another two shots to get back to black.

    Then started on this target with shot #5, dialed three clicks left, shot two more, #6 & #7. Three more clicks left, then shot five shots.

    Since this is intended to be a pig rifle, I will leave it sighted in for 100 yds. I'll bring it back one click right.



    I think I be happy!



    Now if I could just find the right load for the JVR 222!
