Thinking about building a 6.5 grendel

Grendel vs 6.8 is another one of the all-time leaders on the beaten dead-horse list. Grendel can fire slightly higher BC bullets; so it will have better long range performance. Within the "ethical kill range" neither one has much of an edge over the other. If I was going for medium game my personal preference would lean to the 6.8--but the job can certainly be done by a Grendel as well.

Exactly my thoughts. Both are great cartridges for the AR15 that have their advantages and disadvantages. I've have more 6.8 since that's what I started with back in 2011 and before the Grendel was a SAAMI cartridge.

Since fire bombs seem to be popular in this thread... 6.5 G vs 6.8 SPCII?

Go Grendel or go home!

Because, the 6.5 has the cooler name! :D

I've heard the 6.8 spec called the "pizzanator"--does that make it any better?;)
