A lot of folks underestimate the 6.5 Grendel, because it's not on the same velocity level as the .260 Rem, but it's a great little cartridge. Cheap to reload, quality brass, high-BC 6.5mm projectiles, inherently accurate, super-low recoil, stays transonic longer than a .308 Win, and has slightly better ballistics...What's not to love? After building my 6.5G AR upper in 2015, I have been wanting a bolt-action version. I wish Remington would offer their 5R Milspec line or SPS Tactical rifles in 6.5 Grendel (with the Grendel II chamber) and a threaded 16.5 and 20" 1:8 twist heavy barrel (sendero contour) with the 5R rifling. That would be a HUGE seller.
