Grand Slam is a good choice for CXP3 game in appropriate calibers and weights, for mixed bag CXP2/CXP3 hunts and when hunting large for caliber game. If you were hunting elk with your .257 Weatherby, for example, the 120 grain Grand Slam would be an appropriate bullet choice.

When you need deep penetration on heavy game the Grand Slam is a great option, and it’s perfect for cross-canyon shots on any elk. The Grand Slam offers many advantages over other bullets. It comes with a sleek profile that allows it to maintain velocity, a key factor to initiate expansion and transfer energy.

2023年12月4日 · Most of my experience with Speer has been with the 165 gr. HC in the .308 and the 200 gr. HC in the .300 Win. Mag. Both loads are accurate and have worked very nicely on game. Most of my shooting and hunting over the years has been with bullets from Sierra. They've always worked for, albeit sometimes a bit messy mangling meat.

I started shooting Speer Grand Slam expanding bullets in the late 1970s, when they were first introduced, and kept shooting them until maybe a decade ago, when they were essentially turned into a heavier-jacketed Hot-Cor. Also used the tungsten-cored Grand Slam Solid some in Africa.

They're really pretty decent bullets, on the whole. They aren't in the Sierra league in terms of accuracy, but they hold together nicely and do considerable damage on game. I'm currently using them in my .300 SAUM Model 7. Should you decide to sell them all for $50, I'd like to be first in …

2024年12月26日 · When my sons started hunting game bigger than deer I loaded 160 GS bullets in their 7mm08 rifles for elk. At 2600 fps muzzle velocity, those bullets did exactly what we wanted. They'd always shoot through big whitetail deer with only a moderate wound channel, but would generally expand well and stop in elk, after deep penetration, and with ...

2018年9月5日 · As mentioned by Submoa the Speer Grand Slam is a normal cup and core bullet, but not a locked core like the Hornady Interlock. It merely has a thicker jacket in the nose section than similar for instance the Sierra Game King bullets, and …

2004年3月1日 · I've killed a ton of game with 145 and 160 gr GS's in a couple of .280's. I have killed one 8-pt whitetail with a 130 gr GS in my .270. The buck turned as I fired, and the bullet struck him in the left hip, penetrated through the body cavity, and lodged in the opposite shoulder.

2023年12月29日 · The 180 gr Mag Tip was a favorite bullet in my 308 Norma when I had it, shot at least a couple of moose with them. Performed about as well as the Grand Slam did at the time but cost a lot less. The Grand Slam bullet these days is built a lot like the Mag Tip was back then and is priced much better than the old Grand Slam was.

2024年8月30日 · Went with Speer Grand Slams to get away from the ultra high BC/heavy boat tail bullets. They turned out to shoot well in the old rifle and resulted in my biggest buck to date. 65yd shot, entered just in front of the right shoulder, and exited just behind the left shoulder. Dropped him in his tracks. I was sold.
