The shortest I would (will) go on a Grendel is 18 inches. I feel the same about my 556s too. Even 16 seems too short. Then again, I'm 6'2 and 205lbs. Longer barrels fit me fine.
Couldn't disagree more. I use a 16" Grendel and the performance I've gotten rivals that of my 20" 308. Run the numbers and you will see even a 12.5" Grendel with the right ammo is a very viable hunting setup for much further than most people would ever need.
