New Pig Rifle

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

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.

Now You must go to Texas to find the pigs.

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!

VERY nice! What do you have on that for optics?

[claimbuster]

Burris Euro-Diamond 3-12X56 3P#4 LRS. Fantastic scope.

Got back from TX last Monday. Sorry to report, NO pig for the old guy. Of the nine hunters, there were only four pigs killed. Not too exciting.



However, we had a great time and that is really what counts.

We'll try to get a "piggy shot" with the Grendel on the next trip.

Really love the Burris Euro. Under a lighted feeder long after dark I can see that dot and could have made a good shot.

nice rifle, looks like it shoots good groups!

[Ranger]

Too bad you couldn't get yourself some swine on that trip, hopefully next time!

That's a Burris Euro Diamond 3-12X56 with Germain 3P#4 LRS reticle. I really like it.

That lighted dot sure works great under a lighted feeder at night.
