Thread: 6.5 grendel for hunting

I think the 6.5G is ideal for the Howa Mini, if you already have a 7.62x39. It’s a slightly depowered Creedmoor in terms of ballistics and by far the most versatile cartridge for that length action in NZ hunting conditions.

If it was for bush hunting only, I would probably stick to the 7.62x39 as it has plenty of energy for clean kills with minimal meat damage. I am disappointed with my Creedmoor only from the perspective of excessive meat damage, but nothing walks away. With ELDX’s it destroys probably 5x the meat that the 7.62x39 Highland factory 123gr PSP’s does.

Also, if your wife is using brass cases ammo you can save it and resize it to 6.5G.
