That's ok. We are just different people.

I see you added more to that question, made a bit more sense.

I recommend the Grendel because it's a light, accurate and capable package. It's capable of taking everything in Minnesota.

It's lighter recoil, cheap ammo, range and inherent accuracy make it a great round to learn with, play with and utilize.



Ghost did you post everything I quoted you on? The answer is yes. If you posted it. You recommended it.

New complexity is Grendel vs. Grender II. Trying to study up on that.

Found it. I guess it was only $849.

I wouldn't get a 24" for hunting, in MN, it's bulky and the extra velocity is unnecessary.

That's where we are different. I wouldn't post something I'm not willing to stand behind.

I like that you chose to be ethical.

Please don't misrepresent what I have said though.

Still waiting on that study by the way that shows the 6.5 Grendel outperforming the .300 win mag on moose in Scandinavia...

I don't own anything Alexander arms and I never said they used the Grendel over there for moose.


Point 1, the Grendel was developed by Alexander Arms so I thought you would get the reference.

Point 2, you reported that there is a study that shows 6.5 bullets being more effective on moose than .30 in Scandinavia. This would imply that you are stating that a 6.5 Grendel would be more effective that what? A .300 mag? I would contend that the 6.5s they studied, if this study exists, where a different class of 6.5 than your touted Grendel.

I will concede that the Grendal is a great cartridge for MN deer hunting. I will not concede it is better than a .308 for hunting tasks.
