Think about all those savage stryker and rem XP100 Pistol’s that have been built and shot over the years. They’ve been chambered in .223,.308,30-30, 30 herrett to name a few. They work. They work with equal or greater powder charges than the Grendel. No one is claiming a 12” barrel Grendel is the ideal choice for 1200yd shooting. It is however a good choice for medium game up to ~300 yds or so. The powder isn’t burning all the way to the end of barrel in most cases. The burning rate determines the rate of detonation which determines the pressure curve which determines the velocity and peak pressure. Short barrels work in rifle cartridges, they have for years. Ideal for every situation? No. Is there any gun ideal for every situation? No. I’m not carrying my 26” 260AI to shoot a deer at 80-300 yds. I’ve killed a truckload of deer with .223 from 30-340 yds. Ideal? No. Look up on you tube, or on the LRH forum. Guy shooting an.375 cheytac pistol at 1500 yds IIRC. I’m works. No need for all the arguing. Different strokes for different folks. I will report back on my 12” build after completed.
