Solved from this product's advertised 2800 fps, 110gr bullet and G1 BC 0.450, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 6.5mm Grendel.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Underwood 110-grain Controlled Chaos is a solid copper 6.5 Grendel hunting load made for medium game and personal defense. The Controlled Chaos is a copper bullet with no lead core. At 2,800 fps it is the fastest of the 6.5 Grendel loads compared, with 1,915 ft-lbs.
In the same rifle its estimated recoil runs about 13 percent under Hornady's Custom 123-grain SST, the hardest-kicking of the 6.5 Grendel hunting loads compared. Underwood drives a light copper bullet hard, which is where the muzzle energy comes from.
If you're cross-shopping, Barnes' VOR-TX 115-grain TAC-TX is the other copper bullet in the caliber, 210 fps slower at the muzzle with 202 ft-lbs less. Hornady's Custom 123-grain SST is a polymer-tipped lead-core bullet 220 fps slower.
- No lead core, so it is legal where lead-free hunting ammunition is required
- The most muzzle energy of the 6.5 Grendel hunting loads compared
- 480 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Alexander Arms' 129-grain SST
- At 110 grains it carries the least bullet weight of the 6.5 Grendel hunting loads compared
- Barnes' VOR-TX 115-grain TAC-TX is the other copper bullet in the caliber and carries 5 more grains at nearly the same estimated recoil
