Has anyone ever loaded it and did it perform good on deer. I’ve done lots of research and read where some had trouble with the bullets not opening up all the way. Some said they performed flawlessly. I’d like info from real people who I feel could lead me the right way. Thanks. Also would like to try a load for 308 130gr. TTSX. It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

Not sure if Barnes makes a lighter TTSX in 6.5 but if they do maybe try that one. Probably really hard to move that 130 grain fast enough for good results with the little Grendel.

He’s wanting the 100 grain in the Grendel and the 130 grain for a 308. 83% of all statistics are made up.

I will look into them. I have a buddy that shoots 120gr TTSX in his 7-08 and I really like the way they shot and how they performed on deer. So that’s why I want to try them in my Grendel. Thanks for the advice. It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

Thanks for the advice. Speed is the big thing with mono bullets. Your buddy’s 7-08 should have your Grendel by a couple hundred feet per second. You would probably be fine with them in your Grendel. Just keep impact velocity at least around 2000 fps. 83% of all statistics are made up.
