I don't really notice much difference with the Grendel compared to the 5.56, especially in the prone. On video, I can hear that there is a more definite thump from the Grendel, but it's a pussycat to shoot all day long, just like 5.56 is.
I like that I can carry the little 16" around, yet still make easy hits on steel at 500m 1st-round with it, even in high winds. I would carry it over my .270 Winchester Pre-64 Model 70 Featherweight in a heartbeat for a hunt.
The 16" barrel length gives you about 2450fps with factory 123gr loads I think. There isn't a huge difference in trajectory and drift between it and a 20" Grendel.
