So with all due respect I ask what value is there in a short-barreled Grendel? The wasted powder and lost velocity would seem to me to negate the benefits of the cartridge design. Don?t get me wrong, to each his own, and I?m not calling your wrong for buying one, but I?ve been of the mindset of use the best tool for the purpose, so if I needed an SBR then I?d consider a 300 Blackout or something in a pistol cartridge, or move to a 16? gun and train to make it work. I just don?t see the Grendel as the best tool for the job in an SBR build. That said, I do hope you enjoy any rifle you build/buy. I am a firm believer in the right to pursue happiness.
Hang it up bro...I've gone down this road with this crowd...they are a bit hard headed on the issue. Several here have blocked me so they don't have to see my stance against such short barreled 6.5's.
So I dont stop by very often any more...the barrel makers want to make money. If you want and beg them to do something, regardless how good an idea it...they are here to make money. I'd never own a 6.5 G with a barrel shorter than 16", but if made barrels I'd sell these guys all they want!
