< 1/2 MOA 6.5 Grendel Barrel?

In all honesty, there isn't enough difference between the 2 at 600 are less to worrie much about.

As far as barrel life goes, as long as your handloads dont go over pressure the 6mm version will have less throat life them the 6.5mm .

I read that post on 6mmarc fourm. That was some fine shooting for sure. But honestly if you would have been shooting against someone who had their rifle and load dialed in and had some skill at that range. The results would have been different.

And your arc is not more accurate because it shoots a 6mm bullet and not a 6.5mm bullet. Barrel quiality, load quality, scope/mount quality, trigger, postion, overall rifle build quality and shooter skill has more to do with that then bullet diameter.

Your right their is not much difference in them. except that the 6mm edges out almost everywhere. And one of the reason the DoD adopted the 6ARC was because of extended barrel life. I still may do a Grendel, I have all the parts except the barrel. And I don't buy junk barrels.
