Well I’m starting with a 350 legend because I found some ammo close to my house. After stupidly passing up a shelf full of 6.5G a couple weeks ago, I can’t find any ammo now.

I know I told you to join the 65grendel owners forum, but they actually have one for 350 Legend owners too.

6.8 is optimized on 16” barrel where Grendel likes a longer tube if that matters to you.
Grendel doesn’t show any advantages until you stretch yardage out to 3-400+
People are finding out the Grendel actually does well down to a 12” barrel.
6.5 has slightly higher SD than the 6.8 and in theory should penetrate deeper at all ranges on tougher animals or shots.

Yep, the 6.5 SD is very appealing. I recently re-barreled my 6.8 and might have gone 6.5 had I not been so vested in 6.8 reloading stuff.

That’s what happened to me. I bought into the 6.8 hype several years ago and built one, an NFA one at that. [emoji58]
Saw that it really didn’t do anything my Grendel wouldn’t do and sold it. Luckily my BIL bought it so the transaction was easy other than the 10 month wait.
In hindsight I should have just sold the upper and kept the registered lower. [emoji2361]
