Anyone hunt whitetail with 6.5 grendel? I just bought one off of guntrader with 300+ rounds of ammo and a nikon scope for 1200. Wanted something my wife could shoot and something I could put a suppressor on. Thought this was a pretty good deal considering all of the ammo it came with. Hornady SST and Hornady Black ELD.

Yep, several on here do.

My son shot one with mine and it was DRT.

Great round for southern deer.

X3. Got a Sulzer AR. No can though. I put a Ziess 3-9 on it. It’s great on pigs/deer out to 200 with the same ammo OP picked up.

6.5 = 130 gr (8 g) 2,510 ft/s (770 m/s) 1,818 ft·lbf
30/30 = 130 gr (8 g) 2,496 ft/s (761 m/s)1,799 ft·lbf

Looks good enough to me.

What type of mount/rings did you use for your glass? I've got a sulzer one that I bought a leupold for and never mounted.

I believe I used the Burris P.E.P.R. one piece mount on it. I'll verify tonight.
