Bullets aside -- and , BTW, the 6.5 family is excellent! --, my view is that the primary reason for minimal exercise of the Grendel in short range competition is that it was designed as a deer-hunting cartridge with potential for military application.
In the earlier days of this forum. about a quarter of the discussions were on military with almost all the rest being excited conversations about how well the cartridge works in the hunting arena.
Hence, our own enthusiasm about things hunting distracted folks from the Grendel's accuracy potential and gave space for dedicated target cartridges hyped as such.
(REferencing BFT's comment, yes, we shooters have more of a herd mentality that we care to accept - - -)_
