Cory has a point. A good one. A savvy one. Think of the 6.8 SPC. For the part of the market that wasn't attracted to it because of the "tacticool" It Was Invented by Speshul Phorces and Is Fer Shur Gonna Be Adopted by the Marines, there was the part of the market attracted to It Exceeds .270 Velocities!!!
A mindless focus on muzzle velocity is not fair. It's ignorant. It makes the job harder for 6.5 Grendel marketers, but that's the reality of how most of the American market thinks.
In view of THAT, what I'd suggest is a fast 6.5 Grendel factory loading of a light hunting bullet (oh, 100 grains? but keeping SAAMI pressures) and advertise the hell out of that, just to grab attention. THEN you can sell them on the hidden beauty of high BCs in the heavier bullets. Sound like a plan?
