I run the 129ablr in my 12.5" with H4895 and get ~2220fps. That equates to 1683fps at 400yds and 811#ke according to shooter ballistic app.

Curious to see your results on how yhe factory ammo groups. I used to have a 22 grendel and sold it out of necessity at the time. Thinking it might be time to get back into one. It would be great to not have to do all the brass prep and handload again.

Interesting! I am running 8208, 77tmk in Winchester brass but at the next node down. I am running 23.1gns. Looks like I need to venture up for little more 🌶. I also have a full 5gal bucket of 1x fired PMC bronze brass too.. Guess i know what my next range trip will be testing. Thanks for...

Oh my. I should have been more specific. I was asking about the Hornady 100gn eld-vt in particular

What sort of velocity are you seeing from your 17.6" tube? Been contemplating trying this in my 18" monster bbl for thermal outings on porcine problems.

Another vote for Nosler 129gn ABLR's. With their expansion threshold at 1300fps, that puts them out past 500yds when starting from my 12" at 2,220fps. Shooter app predicts them to be moving 1,580fps at 500yds. I still need to confirm drop at 500 to true up my dope, but thats plenty far enough...

69 SMK has a tougher / thicker jacket than the TMK. What I did to make them violently upset, was bought a $12 needle drill set on Amazon and found the bit that shaved just a smidge off the ID of the hollowpoint to thin it up. This in theory, should aid in faster bullet upset and better...
