Why go back to 6mm PPC/ARC as a general purpose round over 6.5 Grendel, if the Grendel was devopled to be the more effective general purpose round in the AR15 platform?
It's my understanding that Bill Alexander (primarily) designed the 6.5 Grendel as a whitetail hunting cartridge for the AR. The .243 has a checkered history of failure on larger deer. Now reduce the velocity. I think Bill made the right decision going 6.5.
