Drift and Drop Comparisons:
The comparisons here all have velocities expected for 20-inch barrels. Bullets are Sierra MatchKings except for the .20 Grendel, which is modeled with the Berger 55gr BTHP. To be sure, a long range competitor with the .308 Winchester or especially the 300 Winchester Magnum will use a 26-inch or longer target barrel to get as much velocity as practicable. But then, so would someone contemplating the the 20 Grendel for long range competitive target shooting with an AR or bolt gun. The principal focus here is on long-range varmint hunting with potential competitive shooting as a secondary possibility.
