Lots of energy transfer and meat damage - Hornady Custom 6.5mm Grendel 123 Grain Super Shock Tip Centerfire Rifle Ammunition

These are great took a ram and three hogs out of 16inch barrel ar platform penatrating all the way through a 100lbs hog diagonally on a quartering away shot, the ram hit his far shoulder shattering the bone and scapula into powder bullet exploded to shrapnel lost a 6inch circle of meat to hamburgered to be worth it so I would watch your shot placement carefully if meat hunting, that being said ram turned around took three steps and fell dead all three hogs died where they stood one was a headshot facing me dropped started kicking second round entrance was touching the first hole pretty consistently accurate rounds animals had minimal blood loss externally died from the energy dump not bleeding less than half a cup outside the animal while 6.5 it less effective than the 100grain sp.270win I used to take hogs with it is a adequate replacement so far
