Unique perspective, however I respectfully disagree.
That "bad idea" has harvested more deer and hogs than any other AR15 variant cartridge at the moment, is enjoyed by thousands, and opened the door for other variants (22 Nosler/224 Valkyrie and a slew of wildcats).
Not to mention the more folks that go searching into the 6.8 stumble upon info regarding the Grendel as well.
As I mentioned before, pick your flavor, enjoy it, be careful not to pick on others choices. Different strokes, man.
