24" vs 24"
123gr SMK vs 175gr SMK
They're within .2 mils of each other out to 700yds for trajectory and .1 mils wind, in the Grendel's favor.
What I've personally seen from behind the spotting scope and with actual drop data is that the Hornady 123gr bullets fly about the same flight path as a 175gr SMK.
The 6.5mm 123gr Scenar and 123gr SMK have an edge over the .308 175gr SMK.
Where the real advantage lies is that shooters behind a Grendel can see their own impacts easily because the rifle didn't come off target as much as the .308s do, so follow-ups are much faster, as is the learning curve since you can see as a shooter what is happening, versus needing a spotter.
