lead chucker Wrote:To me its not a debate or argument, they are not the same or the grendel would be named 308 Winchester. It is the 6.5 grendel and is a great cartridge by its self. I own two now and love them both. Two year ago I killed a deer at 370 yards with mine, my dad is a die hard bolt gun old timer. After I killed that deer at that distance he had to build one and now shoots it quiet a bit. That says something to me! I couldn't be happier with mine for what they are, the same as my kids.
Awesome lead chucker, thanks for sharing. Honestly if IM going to finish my .308 build and decide to keep the receivers i have or sell them, I would just go with .308 & not 6.5 Creedmoor. I like the 6.5 Grendel due to the fact that its a lighter system & my 10yr old can learn on it.
Thanks everyone for answering my question on Type I & Type II bolt differences.
Whats the rough expected life of say a Lilja barrel in 6.5 Grendel?
