Hello from Kandahar - shootsmart - 11-07-2011
Ive joined this forum because this seems to be the center for knowledge of the few ppl who realize that the 6.5 grendel is a superior round, and I wish to learn as much about it as possible.
My main interest is building a SHTF / hunting rifle. I was something with real versatility to the point where i may be asking a little too much, but im here to learn what the limits of the 6.5 grendel are so I can operate there. I want a short cqb suppressed carbine that can still hit out to 500 or 600 meters. And 6.5 grendel seems to be leaps and bounds above the competition for this.
Happy to be here!

We built a 18" grendel on AA barrel & bolt, DPMS Lower and hand honed trigger parts
RRA lightweight Quad Rail .. and a 4.5 x 14 Leupold Scope
Can kill a deer at 500 yds .. hit one last year at 437 yds one shot kill ( good front rest for the shot ) or in a flash slide on a light and laser and go toe to toe CQB/Zombie Killer
Love this weapon

Welcome Shootsmart,
Here are some ballistics tables from the Alexander Arms site that give you an idea of the muzzle velocities you can expect with various barrel lengths: http://alexanderarms.com/images/pdfs/grendel_ballistics.pdf
The muzzle energies nearest to 500 foot pounds are highlighted in red, so you can get an idea at what range each is effective on game.
It you want to shoot suppressed get an adjustable gas block of some type.
Hey, you're there for us, we'll be here for you!
