Hit the range today to dial in a couple things for an upcoming pig trip.
Brought "the one" just to verify zero of my 20" Grendel, a Noveske build, all their parts, barrel, etc other than a Smoke Composite stock and grip. Topped with a Leupold VX-6 HD 3-18X, 50mm, and a Thunderbeast Ultra 7.
I usually shoot Hornady 123 SST, which routinely shoots sub MOA out of that gun. Today I grabbed some Underwood 110 gr as its just sitting on a shelf. They stopped making it in Grendel so I went into a conservation mindset, but realized - might as well burn through it over the next couple seasons.
1) POA/POI vs the SST - nearly identical at 100 yards.
2) At $3/rd, I realized I'd grabbed a 4 rd mag - I usually shoot 5 - but said, well, thats a $12 experiment, let's see how much adjustment we need... results were enough to make me take a break and reflect on how much I wanted to do that again.
To be fair, my next group was at least... .5 - .6 MOA as I was chasing this dragon, but I think it is safe to say this was a personal best. I know it isn't a 10 round phenom, but I'll take it... with a little luck this is an unbeatable combo in the small frame.
Naturally, Noveske stopped making the Grendel barrels and Underwood no longer makes the ammo - but, as the saying goes - I got mine
