Thanks for the info! I don't hand load, not yet anyway. I thought Grendel ammo was supposed to be cheaper (~65 cents/round) than 6.8 SPC (~$1/round)??? Granted I've just glanced at prices on Google shopping, but I'm seeing Grendel is more expensive! I've seen Wolf ammo has low prices, but I've also heard it's got serious issues. Any thoughts?
My primary firing position will be from a bench-type setup as I mostly hunt from a tree-stand. Originally, I wanted to go with a 19.5" barrel on an upper from Alexander Arms, but now I'm thinking about an upper with a 22" barrel. What's the range on a 22?
I'm looking for a brand that is to the Grendel what AR Performance is to the 6.8; does that make sense to you guys? Can anyone recommend an upper that's great quality and still affordable? And by affordable, I'm trying to stay around $1000 or below, but I'd look at $1500 tops.
I liked the idea of the Grendel because I read it's the best of the 5.56 and .308 without the drawbacks of each. I don't know about you guys, but I go for a head shot with my game. I'm not really big on trophys or mounts. So with that in mind, what animals are still not a good idea to hunt?
Also, I'd like to get an idea of how loud these things are and what an effective muzzle brake/flash hider would be.
Thanks again!
