They make short 7" barrels for Grendel that would be great for subsonic if you could fine 200 to 230 gr bullets and still pack way more powder and use the Grendel II chamber to give it more OAL.. http://saternmachining.com/barrels_on_handNeat plug!
Are we discussing 200-230 grain bullets for the 6.5 or for the 30 caliber?
The maximum weight bullet commonly seen the for 6.5 caliber is 160 grains and they require a 1-8" twist for stabilizing.
Should one be serious about trying this in 6.5, one would probably have to custom build them and go with a faster twist than 1-8".
Nonetheless, a lot of us would like to see a project like that move forward with real bullets, barrels, and shooting.
