“Ar15 in 6.5 Grendel. Best of both worlds.”
I happen to agree - the ballistics are really compelling. The only problem is ammo availability - you can go into pretty much any sporting goods store and find both .223/5.56 mm or .308/7.62 mm, but you can’t yet do that with 6.5 Grendel. It is getting better, seemingly every month or two, but it still isn’t even close. If I was to get a Grendel-configured AR, I’d definitely only get it with a couple thousand rounds, plus a reloading set up with components for at least many hundreds more, plus at least a dozen magazines...because if the S does HTF someday, you don’t want your rifle to just be a very expensive club.

Ar15 in 6.5 Grendel. Best of both worlds.
My deer rifle for years was the 6.5x47 Lapua. So my choice for my first AR-15 was 6.5 Grendel. I shoot the same bullets with some reduction in velocity, which is still more than adequate for deer & hog.
I am just finishing up my 2nd AR-15. This one is a wildcat, the 358Yeti. It is based on the .308 Win case shortened and expanded to 358.
It will launch 180gr bullets at 2,600 fps and 200gr at 2,400fps.
