Nothing against the Grendel, but if it were me (which it isn't) and I was wanting a 'deer' cartridge (to compliment my small game cartridges) to shoot out to 600m, I would look at something with a bit more retaining energy than a 100gn bullet has that starts life at 2800fps.
Just my opinion of course, and as we all know, everyone has one.
Totally serious about the left hand bolt thing though

All good mate and i do value your opinion, thanks for the input , there's always the Creedmore which is another topic again but the Grendel is an excellent round. Anything with less noise and recoil than a 223 and more energy than a 308 out to 1000 yrds with better penetration is got to be worth considering at least.
I did shoot a mates left handed Ansutlz once and I was so ingrained into a right handed bolt action I felt totally uncoordinated, how sad is that.
