Not really, because the Grendel has a significant advantage in SD when using same weight projectiles. That increases barrier penetration. Since powder capacity is essentially the same, using same weight bullets the Grendel will have higher BC's and improved SD's.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
