6.5 Grendel VS 300 AAC?

[JASmith]

Grendel v Blackout...go with Grendel.

I have two Grendel hunting guns. They are more than adequate for elk.

Blackout would better applied to suppressed home defense (not that the Grendel is not adequate for that as well).

260 Rem is a good choice for hunting as well.

The 260 Rem is an under appreciated sleeper. It shows ballistics approaching those of the .270 Winchester in a .308-length case.

Similarly, the Grendel can to as well or better than the .243 Win with a .223 Rem-length cartridge. Its a surprising result, but you can check out a discussion of the comparison at http://shootersnotes.com/grendelmania/gr...arge-game/.
