Hey, mrray13 I just ordered a new AR 15 in 6.5 Grendel and I should have it next week. I've been wanting another caliber of AR besides 5.56/223 & 22 LR. I ordered a 16" mid length upper with six position collapsible stock. Buddy and I are talking about going hunting in Texas next year. I figure the Grendel will be great for hogs, coyotes, deer and prairie dogs. My son in law has a 24" barrel 6.5 Grendel in an AR 15 which makes a nice accurate rifle but to long and heavy to pack around. 16" 6.5 G only looses about 100 FPS compared to a 20" barrel but handles better for me and is similar to my 5.56 duty rifle. 6.5 Grendel uses the same case as 7.62 X 39 but necked down to 6.5 MM/ .264. These bullets have a high ballistic coefficient and has a flat trajectory with no more wind drift than a 7.62 X 51. 6.5 G uses bullets from 85 grains up to about 140 grains with 123 grain match bullets being some of the more accurate long range rounds.
