    making the change from 223 to 6.5grendel (maybe even 6mm arc?)

    i kinda want to move on my howa 223 short action soon, theres nothing wrong with it just want to try something else maybe a mini or a ruger. i was kinda thinking about switching to the grendel or arc if thats arrived by the time i sell. mainly as kind of a night gun/ goat wallabie etc medium range target gun. is it worth making the change from 223 if ammo cost is kinda irrelevant for me. are people with grendels still only neck shooting deer? my thought process would then be just stick with 223 if you have to put the bullet in the same place. even if i buy a grendel ill end up with a 223 again further down the track as a kind of cheap trainer/ rabbits goat etc. just after any opinions of people whove thought or made the switch. or thise with a bit of experience running a grendel on deer
