[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1527950, member: 101755"] Gord0 "The 6.5 Grendel will definitely have more options. It also works great in shorter barrels. A 12.5" 6.5 Grendel won't lose much to a 16"." IMO the Grendel is not the same type of cartridge as a BO...it not the same class. I don't believe the Grendel was intended to be used as a slow sub velocity loading. For a start the 6.5 bullet selection is no where close to that of the 30 cal. The smaller bullets allow a lot more room for powder in the case. I see guys complain quite a bit on the Grendel site because they don't get it. They use a short barrel and don't get the velocity they want. My 20" barrel get a solid 100 fps over my 18" with the exact same load combos. I've tried to tell them 2500fps is a lot better than 2000fps with 120gr bullets. But they see the BO guys successfully shooting 200gr bullets out of a 8" barrel and think they can do the same thing with 120gr bullets...that's two different animals. [/QUOTE]
