    2219 will work great, why don't you use that?

    I've got a mate who I'm going to shout some rounds for his grendel.

    So for his purposes( fallow, reds, goats etc).

    I was looking at the 107gr Sierra TMK. They do a 130gr version but I cant find any 107s ?

    My theory was drive a 107gr TMK slightly quicker and being that their a relatively soft bullet from my experience in 7mm and 30cal so from Grendel velocities they'd be a good all rounder?

    I've found these seem to hang together ok I've only dug them out of a clay bank tho. I want to get it dailed in first tho it's a neat little round but as with any caliber you have to be mindful of its limitations.150 would be my max for shooting animals with any caliber and that should be well within the limits of the grendel
