What John said!
The Grendel isn't the perfect tool for every job, it just does so many of them well that it works! There are only a few game animals in North America where I would not make it a first choice: Brown Bear, Buffalo, and Moose. Of those, Brown Bear is the only one where I would really feel it isn't adequate. Buffalo and Moose can both be easily taken with it, in fact 6.5x55 has taken more Moose than probably any cartridge, and the Grendel comes very close to traditional 6.5x55 loads.
For Brown Bear, the Beo is a good choice!

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
