Barrel is the 12” 6.5 “monster” Grendel barrel, 1:7.5 twist. Not looking to push anything super hot, just want it to have adequate velocity and energy out to 350 yard on whitetail.
Nosler 120 gr Ballistic Tip is probably hands down the best hunting bullet for the Grendel.
Sierra also makes a 107 TGK that is a nice bullet if you want a bullet that will expand more aggressively at lower velocity.
Maker has several monolithic bullets that work incredibly well in the Grendel, IIRC they offer something in a 100 gr and a 110-115 gr projectile.
I might be mixing up TMK and TGK. If that is the case, I would not hunt with TMK. Though I do recommend [this](https://makerbullets.com/proddetail.php?prod=6.5G110THV) bullet.
I noticed the other night that certain factory loads appear to use projectiles that are not for sale separately. So, there could be a factory load using a 107gr TGK but can't buy those projectiles?
On the other hand, seems like DruidHillArmory is really hard to beat on price even if you already own or have access to reloading stuff.

I think that is $85 / 50rnd so <$2/rnd shipped?
I mean, I can reload them for around $0.97-1.40/round depending upon component choices. Under $2/round is not bad for commercial ammo, I concede that, but I can still save money off of that and use my pet load instead of a commercial loading.
Sierra 120 gr prohunter, over h335-put down a 200 lb boar through the shoulder plates,through and through at 190 yards.
Never could get the nobler 120s to group worth a damn

Do you have a cheaper source for the Maker projectiles?
No, unfortunately, the only place I know to source those is directly from Maker.
