28" is too long for and AR shooting a Grendel. I think it is too long for a bolt rifle shooting a Grendel. You will not see a quantum improvement in velocity and expect to do more load development to find loads that coincide with the timing of the system. Still won't get the velocity to knock over rams and will have a very awkward AR. That much barrel in front of whatever type of rest you will use will not do you any favors.
I have a Grendel 26" fluted barrel on a Match Rifle and in retrospect should have gone with a 24 inch and a bloop tube. It shoots fine but at 600 it is problematic in winds. Just not enough speed to be competitive. Pretty good at 300 though. I could have had any length barrel I wanted but there comes a point where the few feet per second more in velocity you get is outweighed by a dozen other factors.
