6.5 Grendel on it's own merits

[Stinky Coyote]

What sources do you see that support the conclusion?

How do these numbers compare with other cartridges?

Remember, a new kid on the block with heavy support by a major cartridge company almost always sees a significant flurry of interest in the first few years. Then the tried and true tend to come out on top.

The Grendel is now in its 20th year since first being introduced at the Blackwater Shoot-Out in 2003.

Agree, it's a late bloomer if anything, it's just getting warmed up. But it's earned it's stripes and proven itself now for a long enough period. There's no flies on it. You can't do more for ~30 grains of powder burned. Lots of support factory wise in rifles and ammo and that is only going to steadily expand throughout this century.
