Talk me out of 16” Grendel

[Mark611]

Well, just 1 story, my buddy shot 3 deer walking down a fence line at about 100yds to 150yds using a 16'' barrel 6.5GRR with 123gn Hornady SST's, he claims to have had good shot placement, and he was not impressed with the performance of this combo! claimed 1 of the deer ran a long ways off before he found it! IMO 16 '' of barrel was not enough to give the performance for that bullet IMO!!
