I was going to look at a 223 but noticed the new Howa model offer the rifle in the Grendel. Looks pretty cool, 223 recoil with 308 hitting power and 6.5 penetration.
However I was wondering other than the converts on YouTube are there any forum members using them ??

Any impressions, opinions, experience all game at at what ranges would be keen to know of.

That's a sound idea, miles more grunt than a 223, the difference between a 223 & 6.8 SCP upper on game has to be seen to be believed, the Grendel is even better
