[QUOTE="JPRITT, post: 206031, member: 8628"] I have pondered and pondered on the Grendel. I personally like the caliber but IMO it only really fits the purpose it was designed for. Shooting people. I've looked at it for a windy day varmit gun. Short range deer gun. Back up target gun. etc. etc. And when it comes down to it, there are just too many superior cartridges out there to "settle" on the 6.5 Grendel. If you are purposely hunting elk with a AR platform rifle. The 338 Federal would be a better choice. Or a 260 rem. 7/mm08 , 308, or bigger. prefferably bigger. I would just hate to have that sinking feeling of knowing I just shot an animal and I didnt see it go down do to a poor Caliber choice. IMO there are just too many suitable calibers to consider this one. [/QUOTE]
