How do you like the Grendel? I typically like the bigger rounds.

How do you like the Grendel? I typically like the bigger rounds.

I just recently built it, but I like it a lot so far. I've almost broke .500 on my groups, but I know I can do better as I haven't started reloading for it yet.

Lately I've been deer and hog hunting with the 6.5 X 47 Lapua. I can shoot the same 130 grain bullets in the Grendel and not give up too much velocity. I went with a 24" barrel to maximize velocity.

I started off with a .243. Then moved up to 8mm. Then down to .308. Then 7mm. And now 6.5.

Why couldn't I have just started off at 6.5 and saved a lot of hopping around?
