[QUOTE="WestTexasHunter, post: 1706193, member: 108562"] I set up a 10.5” 6.5 Grendel SBR for my kids to hunt with. They shoot it suppressed so the shorter barrel keeps it from being as cumbersome in tight situations and all their shot opportunities are inside 200 yards. One of my daughters shot her buck last year at age 7 with the 123 grain sst from around 150 yards. I only mention this because the bullet would have been going about 1923 FPS upon impact. The deer made a good leap and fell over. The bullet performed great and exited out the opposite side so there was no bullet recovery. With you getting 2575 FPS from your 123 grain loads your daughter will have similar velocity out around 450 yards. If your daughter shoots the Grendel well and has confidence in it you don’t have to worry about it doing it’s job. BUT, if you just want to build a new rifle I can’t think of a better reason than a special hunt with you daughter. [/QUOTE]
