Why the interest in a Grendel in an action much larger than you need? IMHO it is at it's best in the little actions.
If you are going to use a Savage, Ruger, Remington, Browning 308 sized action just go with the 6.5x47 Lapua (far better brass than the US copy Creedmore). It would be like putting a Grendel in an AR-10/SR-25 type rifle.
A 6.5x47 Lap will throw a 120gn Prohunter at 3000fps from a 24in barrel, 2800 from a 20in barrel. My two 6.5 Lap rifles (Model 70 bullbarrel & Ruger No.1 RSI) are awesome riflesand work very nice on the range and in the field. Even a 260Rem would be a nice choice, particularly if you want to throw the 140gn+ class of bullets.
