They don't go far except down.

I'm interested to hear what sort of shots you've been successful with on deer with this bullet? Given its sold by Speer as a TNT ie soft and explody (it's a word!) you wouldn't expect it to hold together that well? I realise that real world experience and labels/marketing terms often don't align. And the lower speed range of the Grendel must help in this regard?

I really wanted to use this bullet in my Creedmoor but it just won't group it in a useful way. @Pommy's Grendel and 6.5 Lapua absolutely love it. As ever, all rifles are different!
