[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 1673008"] Well for one 360 extra lbs of KE. That’s like sprinkling some extra .380ACP energy on your .223 ;) But in all seriousness, the 6.5 advantage comes from the larger bullet, leaving a large wound channel, and (hopefully) dumping more energy from the larger bullet into the animal. That’s the advantage over the .223. I have shot a hog with a .223 and it was pretty terrible. It was a little under one hundred yards, perfect broadside shot, right in the shoulder. He was roughly 200lbs and it took about 5-6 shots to put him down. That was my experience with hogs. I have shot 3 deer within 100 yards with the same rifle and they ran maybe a max of 50 yards. I think the Grendel would perform better in both cases, but dead is dead at the end of the day. I just want them to be dead quick as possible to minimize suffering. [/QUOTE]
