[QUOTE="hoffbill, post: 2429662, member: 75091"] I have never used the Grendel. If you want an AR15 round with more punch than the 223 look at the 224 Valkrie. A 75 gr bullet leaves the muzzle at 3000+fps. Hornady and Barnes, as well as others I am sure, make bullets in the 70 to 80 gr for that round. It is accurate and has virtually no recoil in an AR15. I would consider it a round any youngster, small statured lady or recoil sensitive old guy with arthritis (that's me) can be completely comfortable shooting. It is quite capable on deer and hogs to at least 200 yds. I also love 6.5 Creedmoor and 260 Rem but they are a significant step up in power as they shoot 120-140 gr bullets with recoil on the low end of moderate and are adequate for deer, antelope and hogs to 500yds although of course bullet placement at longer ranges requires a higher level of shooting skills that youngsters may not yet have.
