First Time Out With Grendel Sierra TMK 107 gr.

Some folks say the TNT 90 gr ammo doesn't shoot as well as they would like and so I thought I would see how the Sierra TMK would do. The company that loads it does not suggest it for hunting, despite describing what would appear to be pretty terrific terminal ballistics. I have to admit, the first results were not what I expected.


Had the hog continued to the left, I would have been free to fire. She went back to the right and with cattle in the background, I could only watch her go.

Hmmmm… That Pew-Thud definitely lacked the crumple anticipated. These Pew-Thud pills aren't exactly instilling confidence out of the gate. I vote for more testing.

The shot looked good in the video. Did you recover him?

Indeed, that hog seemed somewhat less than devastated. However, it's difficult to establish a trend from a single data point.

More data needed. Keep After 'Em!

Looked like a good shot to me too. I’m surprised at the lack of reaction from the hog. Didn’t seem to bother him much.
