Anyone going as light as 100gr for target shooting? What’s the effective range?

The 107smk has outshined everything else in the Grendel for me. And INB4 someone says it’s a 6mm bullet

Maybe short range but I wouldn’t for long range. You can get them going faster but I would rather have the higher BC for long range.

130 is as light as I have used, or have seen anyone else try.

I’ve used 95, 120, 127, 140 and 147 grain ammo. The 95 grain stuff from federal was the least accurate in all of my 6.5 CM rifles. I’d say it’s worth trying depending on your purpose.
You see that head come apart?
