[QUOTE="Danehunter, post: 1611741, member: 54178"] 1. The 6.5 Grendel was developed as a better alternative to the 5.56 NATO round, and it is. But what it is NOT is a big game cartridge. 2. "Short Barrels" on hunting rifles don't make much sense to me unless you absolutely must put a can on the barrel. Why lose muzzle velocity/energy for a tiny bit of ease in handling the rifle? So go with at least a 22" barrel for most 6.5 cartridges and preferably a 24" barrel for optimum velocity and handling ease. If 2" more barrel length makes the rifle "too heavy" then you better hit the gym 3 times a week Bucky. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
