Thread: 6.5 grandel

I think one of the better points made about the Grendel is what @Bagheera made on page 1 The place for the Grendel is if you must have a short action or want a light recoiling round for a light rifle.
If you use a long (20") barrel, you may as well devote half an inch of action to a 308 class case and you'll get a lot more knockdown power.

Comparing the Grendel to other '08 cased calibers is purely academic, thats my take on it . I built my Grendel on a Sako L461 to be a light low recoil fun gun for collecting venison for the pot and clean up a few goats. With the 123gr SST I find it almost too much of a gun under 150m on the goats (makes a horrible mess) and prefer my 6x45 and 75gr HP.
