[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 772325, member: 2736"] What kind of loads are you using Knc? I looked at the Grendel before I bought the 6.8 SPC and did not find anything close to the 6.8 in velocity and energy. The best load I could find for the Grendel was Hornady at 2620 ft/sec for 1875 ft/lbs energy. The best load I found for the 6.8 SPC was Remington's 115 grain at 2800 ft/sec and 2002 ft/lbs of energy. I really liked the looks of the Grendel but the nearly 200 ft/sec velocity advantage and the 125+ ft/lbs of the 6.8 SPC swayed me and the 30 plus brands or types of ammo compared to the 6 or 7 brands or types for the Grendel 6.5 Grendel made it a simple choice for me. All of the ammo I used as a comparison was factory ammo so I guess reloads could produce more in ether round but you are limited to port pressure in an AR platform. Don,t get me wrong I realy liked both but chose the 6.8 because of it,s apparent advantages. Both rounds will beat the 7.62x 39 AK round with an average energy of 1450 to 1525 ft/lbs and the best loads were 1659 ft/lbs of energy. Just asking. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
