    What would be more ideal? A 120 odd grain 6.5 bullet at 2600 FPS is more than enough to kill any whitetail in the world at reasonable ranges.

      There have been 100s of thousands of deer killed with a 243 which is smaller, lighter, and slower.
      6.5 will be more than enough. You don't need a belted mag to kill deer.

          Grendel is amazing on deer (and pigs). When I was on MLD doe duty I killed over 100 with it. I learned a lot. Nosler Ballistic Tips are awesome in it due to the impact velocities. Stay far away from Barnes bullets again due to impact velocities.

            A big hole on one side and a bigger one on the other side
            I don't have a 6.5 but wouldn't be scared to shoot does with one

                In my opinion 1200-1500 ft lbs of terminal energy is fine. Suitable.

                    Just a technicality but the 243 is a lot faster

                      .243 is faster

                        6.5 G will get it done easily.

                          How about a 6.5 CM in an AR-10??

                            Take that Grendel hunting, if you do your job it will do its job.

                              I'm very surprised by how it makes clean pass through on shoulder shots. Made me a beliver
