Thread: Should be at the beach

I love a well written story @dogmatix. Great read, very descriptive, well done.

Its worth considering that if you’d been a couple of centimetres here or there, maybe you’d have hit something CNS related, and down she/he goes. To best achieve this with a modest velocity cartridge like the Grendel, you need a frangible projectile. The SST is a pretty good option.

Just my view on things, and I know others will disagree, all good.... but I absolutely would not go to a bonded projectile with a mild velocity round. I’d select a more frangible bullet, bring the point of aim forward to the front line of the foreleg, and look forward to liquified lungs and severed arteries and CNS pathway between brain and lungs/heart. My pick would probably be the 123 gr ELD-M assumimg it stabilises correctly.

You haven’t told us where the bullet impacted, would like to know out of interest. Is it shown in the photo there?
