6.5 Grendel VS 6.5 Creedmoor

What makes each of these two cartridges different? What are they intended for, and what kind of power do they bring to the table?

    I love both. And you’re absolutely right, they are two completely different cartridges. Anyone that wants to hunt with an AR-15 platform that is also very capable at long-range target shooting should do themselves a favor and build or buy a Grendel.

    Except it isn't small. And it's still supersonic past 1500 yds. You ought to shoot one. It's weird because with a brake and gas adjusted down to the cycling minimum(AR), it shoots so light and sweet but with laser ballistics. Scratch head. Doesn't make sense, in a way.

    interesting take! the Grendel is a completely different use case than the .300 blackout. .300 is not a mid range cartridge and most purchase that caliber now simply because of the subsonic capability with a supressor. even in standard loads, Grendel has a substantial speed benefit and coupled with the BC... speed drop and windage is not impacted as much at longer ranges. Its also important to note Creedmoor wasn't initially intended for the AR platform as it was designed more for precision shooting. I think some mentioned in comments that even the 6.5 creedmoor is no longer the choice for the long range competitive shooters anymore. I do however... love the opinions in your vid. keep them coming!

    I agree, the 6.5CM has since been replaced as the top choice, but let's remember that outside the top ranks of competitors folks move a bit slower and for folks looking to do more with one rifle it's still a really good choice. For the 300blk vs 6.5 Grendel, it's kind of an apples vs pears argument. They're close(ish) for most people inside a few hundred yards when super sonic. Then you have to decide which direction you prefer. Going further out, 6.5 all the way, closer in, and suppressed 300blk. Of course, the correct answer is, "get both". (mostly a general comment and I should probably do a video for this too) Something I've noticed, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, is that the media and a lot of "serious" folks in any given interest area often lose sight of how the average person looks at and uses things. Most people do not have the ability to upgrade constantly or try out the latest and greatest. They rarely have a full selection of options and want to pick things that can cover more situations that they expect to be in. They also tend to not be in the fringe cases that are so exciting for the experts. Most shooters never shoot past a hundred yards. Most, ego and smack talk aside, can't shoot better than MOA off the bench on a good day. Most consider a $1k rifle expensive and cringe when considering a $500 optic to put on that rifle. My channel's for those folks, primarily, so much of what I say and how I present it is outright wrong or useless to the upper echelons of the shooting world. I see the same thing with cars, motorcycles, archery, fishing gear, cameras, computers... It sells media and is exciting, because the average user probably wasn't consuming that media anyway, but it does mean that they sometimes miss the boat on what products will succeed and where they fit in the market.

    I've got both and I enjoy shooting the 6.5G more often because it takes effort. Unless you have access to 1k+, the 6.5C is just too easy, it's boring after time. I prefer the challenge and the need to make more adjustments as I move around between 200-600yards with the Grendel. I do hunt with the Creedmoor, though. I prefer easy when it comes to harvesting meat.

    You know, comparing the 6.5 Creedmoor to the 6.5 Grendel is like comparing the 7.62x39 to the 7.62x54R. The ONLY similarity of the diameter of the bullet. The 6.5 Grendel beats the pants of the 5.56/223 in terms of sheer power and it's not even a little close. It's also effective at MUCH longer ranges. But that's the whole idea of the round in the first place. Shoot from an AR-15 and be a LOT better than the 5.56. But comparing it to the 6.5 Creedmoor is just silly because the two are not even close. If you load a 123gr bullet that is commonly found in the 6.5 Grendel into the 6.5 Creedmoor you get the following result. about 3,050 fps and 2,541 ft-lbs at the muzzle and it won't go subsonic until 1,500 yards and it will still have 305 ft-lbs of energy. However, the useful range for the round for deer hunting is limited by 1,000 ft-lbs of energy at 750 yards. The 6.5 Grendel with the same bullet leaves the barrel at 2,580 fps with 1,818 ft-lbs and doesn't go subsonic until 1,250 yards and has 303 ft-lbs of energy. The useful deer hunting range is limited by having 1,000 ft/lbs of energy and that stops at 400 yards. So with the same bullet the performance difference is already pretty remarkable. However, the 6.5 Grendel can't handle the 143 gr bullets the 6.5 Creedmoor can. With that round the Creedmoor has 2,700 fps and 2,315 ft-lbs at the muzzle and it won't go subsonic until 1,600 yards where it still has 356 ft-lbs of energy. Oddly enough, the heavier bullet, despite having the higher BC, drops below the 1,000 ft-lbs threshold at just 700 yards. If you want to compare the 6.5 Grendel to a common hunting round, then compare it to the 243 Winchester. The 243 Win starts out with about a 100 ft-lb advantage, but they both a hit the 1,000 ft-lb limit at 400 yards and the 6.5 Grendel actually carries more energy after that. They both also go subsonic at 1,250 yards. THAT'S the comparison that should be made.

    That's why I did the video. Because people DO confuse calibers. The fact that it continues to be one of, if not the MOST, popular videos shows that there's plenty of demand for the information. The gun community has this tunnel vision that those of us who actively read, watch and think about firearms, ammo and accessories represent the norm. The sad truth is that most gun owners and potential owners are essentially clueless outside maybe a very small area. For example, I know plenty of people who are literally experts with their 30-30 lever guns. They know their drops out to their effective limit for hunting. They can work that lever fast enough and aim quickly enough to get off a second shot on a deer or hog if they want. But ask them why they use the ammo they use and the answer boils down to, "that's what I started with, it worked, why switch?"

    Great video i really like how you explain ballistics in an approachable and easy to grasp way. A lot of videos on here are ex mil or smiths/engineer industry types that use a ton of jargon/ techspeak that make it confusing for just ur average joe to get. (Technical terms are vital to communicating precise aspects and ideas about very specific and meaningful parameters. They do not however relay concepts to people trying to learn new things or expand their understanding, and on youtube they're mostly used to give the impression someone isbmore intelligent than they truly are and big fancy words cause ego erections) not sure what u do but u would be a great teacher. I also respect how u dont make it all political. Im most definitely a liberal (surpisingly were not all aenemic whiney little nerds that think big bad bully cons. with guns are going to cause the apocalypse, most liberals i know hate all the same things about dems politicians as those on the right do) but i have respect for and share some of the same concerns and values of those on the right. That being said theres nothing that makes me shut down a video quivker than someone going off on some conspiracy driven tirade fearmongering rant about the end of america and resistance of all those who dont share ideology because theyre the downfall of humanity and the reason behind human suffering and blah blah. u tell people to educate themselves and vote which is something I couldnt possibly agree more with. Adding your channel with a thumbs up for the video along with a quick question. Im mostly interested in target shooting but a few friends have been talkin to me about hunting. 6.5 grendel totally converted me to a believer after trying out my buddys compareed to 556 and 762. The flatness and recoil of 6.5 like was experiencing enlightenment compareably but im curious how u feel about it as a hunting round (white tail/mule nothing too crazy or large im a bigginer) Ive seen a few in bolt action even tho i come across ar style semi most often, how much more accurrate u think one would be over the other?

  • @BulletsNBrass

    First, thank you for the compliments. I tend to agree that getting overly technical just loses most people's interest fast. I CAN get into all that, but it's not what the channel is about so I try to reduce things to what matters in general use rather than people pushing boundaries. Knowing the fine details of a particular round's ballistic path out of a particular rifle isn't going to matter to 90% of the audience, and that 10% probably won't believe someone else's numbers anyway. They'll always have "but, what..." "did you.." "what about" and so on. Power to them, that's how science works and advancements happen, but it doesn't help the average shooter learn. For hunting, I think it won't matter other than legal issues. You can get into weight, ergonomics and potential accuracy, but you can do the same thing between different bolt actions and different AR platforms. Anyone trying to argue that a premium AR in 6.5 Grendel isn't accurate enough for hunting is trying to sell you something. Likewise, anyone telling you that you can't do just fine with any of the many great bolt actions is full of it too. Personally, for something like deer, I'd rather a bolt action. I'd also prefer one as light and ergonomic as I can get. For predators or hogs, semi auto all the way. If you're in a state that allows it, suppressed for hunting is excellent as well. The beauty of the 6.5 Grendel is that you really can get some light weight and fast handling rifles. If you go with an AR platform for it you can easily swap out between different tasks even if you are just changing grips and stocks to go from sitting up predator hunting to prone target shooting to deer stand work...

    Makes sense. I missed that time period for 6.5 and then went 300blk for the trifecta of suppressed sbr shooting subsonics. The bonus of doing well with supers just rounded it off. For me it was very much a "that's just too much fun to not have" kinda thing rather than a practical need that might have pushed me toward the 6.5 option at the time. Now, I have to balance the cost and hassle of yet another caliber with the benefits of the grendel. So far, it just hasn't made the leap from "I want that." to "I'm buying one." I have borrowed a few over the years and really liked them, but it fills a niche that I don't actually need, no matter how much I like the idea.

    Certainly, in sub sonic, it's a wimp. It is basically an overly long SMG round with better ballistics at that point. But in super sonic it's a nice intermediate step. But I'll be the first to admit, I built mine because I wanted something that worked really well in a short barrel AR with a suppressor and down range results were totally secondary to the fun factor. Which is funny because that same setup, but with supers, is my HD setup now.

    Average 300fps slower and only 6 more inches of drop at400yds shooting the same 120G bullet!! I will take the lighter more efficient grendel any day. But if ur saying power is everything then drop the creedmoor all together there’s several 6.5 long action rounds out there the walk all over the creedmoor.

    lol Nah, takes a pretty specific hit to make a primer go, and they are slightly recessed so landing on a flat surface wouldn't do it unless you hit so hard the case head crushed. At that point I think it's the least of your worries. I AM impressed with myself though, landing that upright. I don't remember, but I can't imagine it was intentional.

    Tough to start out of video making mistakes when you criticize other people for making mistakes. The 6.5 Grendel was not very specific in fact it was the most general. Ask Bill Alexander who created it. It was a do everything cartridge design and it is a do everything that particular well cartridge that I happen to love The 65 Creedmoor was very specific it was designed to excel at the competition Percision rifle.

    There's a big difference between having a different opinion and fundamental facts being wrong. But you are correct, he intended it to be a superior "do all" round. That isn't what it became in the market place though. While generally an improvement over the 5.56 as a cartridge, as a product it has never really made that leap.

    @@jdblackwell2873 I think it COULD be a do all round, ballistically there is not much reason to choose 5.56 over it. For hunting or longer range shooting it certainly wins. The sticking points are discussed in the video comparing it to 300blk. Primarily, lack of mainstream adoption due to the less simple swap from 5.56. Needing different mags and BCG, along with the fact that both of those items cost more than their 5.56 options have hurt it. I feel that the role it has found itself is that of a sort of niche, sort of mainstream hunting round for AR15's. When you don't need more power than it offers, and want the smaller rifle, it's a good choice. The recent military adoption in several places may help push it into more common use and reduce the prices. Certainly the Wolf ammo helped already and made a certain amount of "fun" shooting not so cost prohibitive.

    6.5 grendel is on the AR15 platform, 6.5CM is on the AR10. In terms of semi auto's that's the big difference, the Grendel fits in the same platform folks already have in huge numbers. The Creedmoor is in the far less common platform. I'm seeing quite a few lately, but I think more folks are still buying AR10's in 308 than 6.5. To each their own, it's not like the 308 doesn't perform just as well as it has since it was introduced.

You have an intermediate cartridge and a fullsize cartridge (may I add that intermediate cartridge can out preform the .308win at long range) If you want to compare the 6.5 Creedmoor to a cartridge that's also in the same category that would be 6.5 PRC vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    So another obviously biased comparison between a 6.5 Grendel and a 6.5 Creedmoor. You don't own a Grendel and did not accurately even relate the specs of the round say at 1k yards either. The main fact being that you didn't even have a 6.5 Grendel cartridge in hand. And sorry, but a 6.5 Grendel will in fact not shoot through a standard AR15 without a BCG and barrel swap. What kind of bullshit exactly are you feeding people? Did you just see a video because someone to you inaccurately described your beloved 6.5 Creedmoor that cost you twice as much to build, packs a lot more recoil and is not as easy to shoot in smaller or shorter barrel lengths? The Pros and Cons of the two are far outweighed with the Grendel coming out on top, sorry to bust your bubble fella.

    Source? I haven't seen anything about that. I've seen some 6.8 being adopted. Some 6.5 in both types. There's even the push to go polymer cased on as much of it as the manufacturers can figure out, to save weight. The only major 6.5 CM switch I saw was for SOCOM's sniper rifles. The 7.62 rifles got redone to 6.5CM, but that's ONLY for the snipers from what I've seen.
