Competitive shooting outside of PRS and high volume training are valid reasons for maintaining a 5.56. I shoot USPSA and run 9mm because a thousand rounds a month minimum on trainihg is a lot of money on my budget even with 9mm. Sure, reloading or running steel case could save some dimes but i dont have the time for reloading with a young family and Id prefer to keep steel cases out of my guns for extractor life.
If you do high volume training and/or competitions that can become high volume then the grendel might not be the only rifle caliber you should own. It would be like me trying to only own 357 sig for carry, training and competition. No way could i afford it. For me i use my grendel as primarily a hunting rifle with secondary uses as a tactical weapon for self defense / modern musket should 1776 things happen again.
I try to be a minimalist as best i can so grendel has become my mainstay rifle caliber and 9mm for pistol. Sounds like to me you ought to keep a 5.56 around. I quit shooting mine after i got the grendel so only my stubborn wife still has one (or 2).
