With an itch for a new caliber and less than two years till retirement, I decided to give the 6.5 Grendel a try using the AR platform. Once back in Minnesota, me (or the Mrs.) will use it for deer and varmint hunting along with some target shooting. The more I began reading about the 6.5mm bullet in general, the more impressed I became. It certainly has a rich history in Europe....more so than in the U.S.
I've had it to the range once so far and was impressed with the accuracy I got. Any time I get about half of my initial hand loads producing sub-MOA groups, the cartridge (and rifle) definitely has my attention. More details can be found at my 6.5 Grendel review.
