Hello, totally new to the AR platform. Been debating between the 6.8 SPC II and Grendel 6.5. I decide to build a Grendel for deer hunting and maybe target shooting in the future.

yes,welcome. I think you will be very pleased in you 6.5. The 2 rounds hardly compare.Then if you decide to go longer ranges the option is there.

Welcome. I also watched and paid close attention to the developments with these two cartridges before pulling the trigger on the Grendel, which is what more suits my needs. Honestly, there isn't a whole lot of difference within 0-350yds with the same barrel length carbines, shooting the same types of projectiles in similar weight classes, but the Grendel gets it done with 150fps slower muzzle velocity, and trucks on past 400yds much better.
More options, more brass sources, and affordable factory ammo are also nice pluses to have behind the cartridge.
