[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2323069, member: 19988"] Have you tried looking at a 6.5 Grendel? If you all ready have a AR15, you can just get a 6.5 Grendel upper. Change the bolt carrier and Mag. You can find it in a kit. It’s actually a pretty good deer rifle round. Hornady makes factory Ammo in 123 grain SST. At 500 yards its still traveling 1800 FPS and retains about 900 lbs of kinetic energy. Thats more than enough for deer. I’ve taken deer out to just over 300 yards with mine. It actually puts them down pretty good. if you decide to go that rough make sure you get a 20” barrel. Bill Alexander designed the round for max efficiency with a 20” barrel and still stays supersonic at 1200 yards. Check it out. It might be worth your time. [/QUOTE]
