I know most on this thread are 68spec fans, but I’m looking at a Grendel after hearing about how good they are at longer ranges, does anyone use one for hogs?
The Grendel (generally) needs more barrel length to enjoy the posted (on some forums) numbers. The 6.8 does better from shorter barrels (in comparison), it's sort of where it shines. By the time the Grendel's bullet's BC advantage kicks in, it's a question of how much punch and velocity is left over at the distance in question (exceeding 500). If you're going to be killing more things beyond 500, and want the BC numbers of the 6.5, start considering the Creedmore… or, a .308.Ranges I’ve understood that the Grendel shines at 500+ yds
I like the 16 in barrels so yes that would need to be considered
That says it y’allTried them both no real advantage I could find with the grendel unless you had a 20 + inch barrel. 6.8 ammo is widely used here in Texas and way easier to find so ditched the grendel. But I like dead pigs and the 308 seems to do that best so I shoot 90% 308 these days. Ammo is cheap, hits hard, and is in every small town store in Texas.
What’s your go to barrel length on the .308Tried them both no real advantage I could find with the grendel unless you had a 20 + inch barrel. 6.8 ammo is widely used here in Texas and way easier to find so ditched the grendel.
