I'm referring to the problem Blackout users face when trying to hunt with heavy subsonic bullets. Match bullets are not designed to open-up and 30cal hunting bullets don't open-up below a certain velocity; originally designed for faster calibers like 308. I've hunted with a variety of heavy 30cal bullets subsonic and they are all poor cousins of dedicated supersonic hunting rounds. In the end settling on the 220SMK match rounds because at least it tumbles on hitting flesh. The rest pencil through and leave the animal wounded. If the choice of weapon/calibre is fixed then the most humane decision is to choose the bullet that does the most damage, all other things being equal.
Excellent explanation. That is the way I see it .

The Grendel AK is on the back burner. They know the market because they sell lots of AR Grendels already. So they are doing every other caliber AK before even considering starting a Grendel AK product. No PSA Grendel AK at the 2020 show, just a rumor.
