[QUOTE="Lycanit, post: 2247691, member: 92957"] Well I might agree that a round May retain more of the original muzzle energy and muzzle velocity at extended ranges. By that logic my 22 creedmoor is an amazing beast. But I still would not consider it a thousand yard Elk round and would probably never dream of pulling the trigger on a Grendel on a deer at 600 yards, given the right conditions I wouldn't hesitate with my 308. I'm not bashing the grendel I think that for what the platform is which is a small bore AR-15 platform limited cartridge, it does a reasonable job of extracting the most performance from a cartridge limited to those constraints. And if you were to limit yourself to that then I think you would be very well served with having three or four uppers on an AR and utilizing it as the Lego gun that it is. A monster socom for up close and ugly and killing anything that walks. A long barrel 223 that you can reload and touch stuff such as varm its way out and even deer up close very well. The Grendel to cover everything that the 223 is too small for. And of course a 22 rimfire conversion for practice. That's how I have mine set up. Not trying to take over the OP, but I agree with you there's something to be said for spending good money on trigger and a fantastic lower and snapping on and off your uppers. I'm not sure that the OP was limiting himself to AR platform though? Or did I miss something in some of the conversation? [/QUOTE]
