Yup i bet he's got the current record. But just wanted to pass a long some other stuff too.

The 6.5 Grendel forum has a hunting section and also a multi-page thread collecting kill data on all sorts of game. There is one guy killing all sorts of wolves. There's some elk. Tons of hogs/deer/coyotes. Some funny guys who've shot squirrels with them and documented.

I just saw Neil Davies with Hornady post on Instagram two kills so far in Africa with a CZ shooting the 123gr sst load. One was a 200 yard gemsbok! Pretty sweet. Looks like he's there right now putting the grendel through some plains game paces.

And some guys think the Creedmoor is wimpy.

If all goes according to plan there will be a non-trophy sheep and a bull moose added to this cartridge by the end of this season.

accuracy, fps at impact, and appropriate s.d. is a proven formula

pushing the limits there no doubt, likely around 1500 fps impact with the 123 a-max factory load by looks of it, 22" barrel, 600 ft/lbs energy but the ft/lbs is not the tale...the tale is well placed 1500 fps, s.d. .252 and a smaller thin skinned animal
.. and all just to see if you can do it. Are there prizes in this game ?
