6.5 Grendel VS 300 AAC?

[Sniper20]

From what I have read on the 6.5 Creedmoor vs the .260 is they are pretty much identical, but the 260 has a touch better drop (.3 mils at 1K) but the CM has less pressure, giving better barrel life. Now the barrel life is a huge debate as there are competitors that claim to have over 6,000 rounds and still got match grade accuracy, so I think the biggest thing is going to be preference... I think I would like to get a Creedmoor...

see ive heard from a guy using a creedmore that he was getting a little a 500 b4 his groups starded going to shat but i know nothing about the load data hes using it may be past the raged edge as most benchrest stuff........the stock on that 300 is still bugging the crap out of me thats a loki stock copy with a damn cover over it...wheres JAsmith he knows all the legal suff

It does have some similarity in design. However, the AAC stock is a lot more chic than Loki's.

BTW, if the AAC stock bugs you, you oughta love H&K's stock.


But, I don't see why you should get too upset about it, though. After all, it's not as if the Loki stock is an original design.

It is clearly a copy of the stock on the M231 Firing Port Weapon.

I am project lead on 300 AAC BLACKOUT at AAC.

The 300 BLK and 6.5 could not be more opposites. While I see some merit in comparing 300 BLK to 6.8, I see little for comparing it to 6.5 - which is even longer range capable than 6.8.

I see 300 BLK as replacing the MP7, MP5, 10 inch barrel HK-416, Mk18, and for hunting and self-defense with an AR when you want 30 caliber bullets but don't want the size/weight, and expense of an AR10. The Remington UMC ammo coming out is just $12.99 a box MSRP. There is a lot of info at http://www.300blktalk.com

By the way, I like 260 a lot - I even designed a 260 barrel that headspaces easily on a Remington without needing a reamer:

Loki - I was not aware of your stock, but we did know about the Colt M231. We started our design around that but made the rails more like the HK MP5.

Mr. Silvers, welcome to the Grendel board!

The 300 BLK is an intriguing cartridge.

Welcome rsilvers!

I love my Grendels...I also love my .300 BLK!

I hunt with Grendel while my Blackout (w/ 10.5" barrel) sits by my nightstand...Thanks!

[jwilson1985]

You said it well on another forum: "If you are looking for the performance characteristics of one, then you would not be interested in the other." (or something like that)

I have both.

My 300 is a 9" gun. It shines as such.

My 6.5 is an 18" gun. It shines as such.

They are different rounds for different purposes.

Staff Sgt. Daniel Horner, one of the US Army’s Marksmanship Unit sharpshooters, has just won the 2011 USPSA Multigun National Championship using AAC’s 300BLK.

4 years ago, the US AMU started looking at a .308 carbine round so they could make major power factor in shooting sports competition.

The AMU first tried 300 Whisper as their entry into the major power factor.

They next looked at the 6.5 Grendel case and found they could neck it up to 7.62, giving them the round they wanted at a safe chamber pressure. In fact, the 30AS (or 30 Gremlin as it’s also known), is a solid shot out to 600 meters, has recoil similar to a 5.56, and makes major power factor in competition. It’s become the AMUs go-to round for action shooting. But, the round has an Achilles heel; magazine compatibility. The unit must make its own mags and the most 30AS ammo that will fit in a standard AR mag body is 26 rounds...

The AMU still uses the 30AS for any gun games that present more distant targets, like outlaw shooting events. But, inside 300 meters, the 300BLK is the right combination of power and compatibility to get the job done.

Where can I get some of that SLAP from?


I am ging to ditch the 5.56 barrel on my M&P and put a Noveske 300AAC barrel on it. Now I just need to figure out what I am going to to do with my bran new battle comp and case of M855 I have sitting at home.

There are plenty of guys here who would be happy to buy your 855 at a reasonable price.

I thought as much. I will post it up along with my 5.56 barrel and battle comp in the buy sell trade section once I get back in the U.S..
