I’d be interested in what you consider “DRT”.Everything I've shot with the grendel is DRT. From alligators to Axis whitetail to a audad that weighed 475 lbs they have all died instantly.
My youngest son has a Shultz & Larson 9.3x62 using Norma 286 grain bullets, on big pigs with a just behind the shoulder shot , their legs fall out from under them like they are stuck by lightning that to me is DRT. my 6.5 G will not do that.I’d be interested in what you consider “DRT”.
I’ve been hunting for nearly 50 years with hundreds of animals to my credit with none of them being DRT. I’ve personally witnessed DRT twice. Once was a high neck shot on a kudu by my wife that crumpled the bull where he stood, never taking another step. The other was a head shot to a whitetail by my grandfather, again…falling over dead.
Absent a hit to the CNS, I’ve never even heard of animals dropping like this. Have ALL of the animals you’ve taken with the 6.5G been shot in this manner or do you mean they took a few steps and died? Maybe ran 10-15 yards and fell over?
I’m not one to cast aspersions on another man’s favorite cartridge but I suspect perhaps due to the extremely light recoil of the 6.5 Grendel you can precisely place your shots on game and your success is due to accurate shooting and a good bullet more than the cartridge itself.Everything I've shot with the grendel is DRT.

Bee - DRT just means “there it is“….”it’s dead —- right there”. Every animal I’ve ever taken was DRT (when I finally found it !)I’d be interested in what you consider “DRT”.

AKCoastie: the .22lr fits the bill but those other “odd ducks” will soon be extinctTo be honest, didn't read 49 pages.
However rifles?
