I think that the 6.5 Grendel is one of the best all around calibers for an AR15 platform. I wished that it would have caught on much more than it has. Also the more ammo that is produced and sold in any caliber the lower the cost of that ammo.

I have one of each. 16" 556 store bought and 18" 6.5 Frankenstein. Built a 10.5" 556 for home defense The 556 is par none out to 350 meters. Past that the Grendel is great out to 800. Could go further but I have a limited distance range. Now I could throw the dice and hit the power line cut, but...... Wish you would have used a 20" Grendel barrel, as that's an upgrade I'm looking to possibly make. To all of you thinking of getting into the 6.5 , be careful of where you get your mags. There are two main makers, one works fine while every mag I got from the other needed to have some work done to it. Rounds kept hitting the front lip when chambering. I found that getting 762X39 mags for an AR work great. Haven't had a round jam on the front lip yet. Grendel uses a necked down 762 case so no problem there. There's also a third option, called a 'multimag'. As to ammo, yes Virginia, the Grendel costs more to shoot. Pre freak out was @75 cents a round, lucky now if I can find under a dollar rounds. Whereas I can still get 556 for around 50 - 60 cents a round. Will the Grendel replace the 556 as America's sweetheart? I don't think so. The 556 is the girl next door while the 6.5 is the prep school blonde hottie across the tracks. 762X39 [AR-47} is the tattooed chick from the pool hall, smokin a Camel and drinkin a PBR.

This debate between these two calibers and their usefulness out within the field has been and in some cases still does raise its ugly head, in which one is as good as the other, that the other is a waste of money, shows no real reason for its use, in which the other would not do or give the person the same results. This discussion has been at times a much useless waste of time. Think you again for a well and informative review of these calibers and their best uses in the field. This give the person a much more positive view of what they can expect when using each calibers and in what type of platform to use them in. And what they can now expect from which ever caliber chosen at the time for that platform of uses. Again thank you gentlemen for a well and informative video. Keep them tight.

I bought a barreled action 20” heavy barrel from Brownells. Married it to a Elf Owl chassis with AR stock adapter and a Magpul PRS lite. It’s a damn good rifle. Light enough but produces .5 MOA at 100 for me. I’m getting about 1” once I get out past 300.

Same thing holding me back. Taken a lot of hogs and yotes out to 400 with a 223 but if I wanted more power it's probably because I'm hunting bigger game and I have bolt guns for that. Ever since I got into creedmoor I haven't really touched my ar15s. I have 2 ar10s in 6.5cm with thermals for the varmints now so the grendel just doesn't fit in to my needs especially with ammo being so close in price. Maybe a general use truck gun in grendel might be a good idea just to have a little more power than 223. Looked at the arc but seen too many reliability issues

Which is better? They are 2 very different platforms. Both have their uses . AR15 is a combat rifle workhorse if you will. The 6.5 Grendel at 20” is more of a DMR style rig . I have both and use 1 for 0-300 the other I use for 300-1500ish .

Rookie question regarding the marine 36 meter zero. Is that drop rate consistent for all 5.56 rounds or is that specific to the 5.56 NATO loads?

We have a solid amount of field data on the 6.5Grendel with wild game. For wild game we pretty much exclusively shoot the factory Hornady 123gr SST and a majority of the time use a 24" barreled set up because thats what the box data is based on as they use a 24" test barrel for that so its a fast conversion in the field when we need to. I have killed 1x Elk with a 18" barreled upper at 200yds (head shot) and 3 Antelope with the same upper within 200yds as well. The 24" barreled upper has killed 7+/- Elk, 3x Ibex, 2x Barbary Sheep, 1x White Tail, 1x Mtn Lion, 1x Javelina from 150yds to 480yds. My 15yr old son shot a Cow Elk at 480yds (one shot kill - neck shot) for the longest stretch out of the 6.5Grendel, one Ibex was at 436yds and a Elk and Ibex again at 400yds. Someone documented a Cow Moose kill in AK with a 6.5Grendel and either a 18" or 20" barreled upper at 100yds as well with a one shot kill. The 6.5Grendel has a payload and ballistics to pretty much handle most Big Game as long as Shot Placement and Appropriate Distances are followed. Its an incredibly great caliber for youth hunters, small framed beginner hunters, females, and others because its low recoiling, affordable to shoot alot and get very solid consistent hits with and build confidence with for the needed shot placements. In several states its not legal to hunt with a 5.56 but it is with a 6.5Grendel - CO for example requires a .240Cal or larger for Big Game Hunting and thus a 6.5Grendel is legal to hunt Big Game with, NM allows any center fired caliber but your limited in distance and size of game potentially with the 5.56 if you did hunt with it where as the 6.5Grendel can reasonably handle any Big Game animal in NM.

@PrecisionRifleNetwork

Жыл бұрын

It really depends on ammo, barrel, velocity, and other things. Roughly speaking however, if you zeroed at 30y, you should have minimal drop at 300y. Doing that though, you’re almost 5” high at 100y. Could cause issues for fast head shots. It’s overall easier to use this method with a standard AR and 5.56. A grendel really should be zeroed at 100y like most other long range rifles. Then just memorize your drop data out to 500 yards or so, and you’re golden.

Curious as to how this is even a question...Ballistically there’s no comparison

Grendel is the clear winner, but there's something to be said about ammo compatibility, availability, weight, and size.

Yes, it's a load, but less than an AR-10! Grendel likes a long barrel. I see 20" as the minimum. Which is mine in an HBAR too! That said, the Russian Wolf 100 grain FMJ was designed for a 16" barrel. Save your 120+ grain for the long barrel. Use the 100 for training, and shorter barrels. Just my two cents...

@@actionjksn I built a 16" for a girlfriend, who left me a few months later. I kept the carbine! I feed only the 100 grain wolf in it. Anything else would be a waste. The 20" gets the Hornady 123 grain HP. That's Match grade ammo! It rings the 10" gong at 800 yards every time. Gotta love it!

.223/5.56 from 16" barrel has no trouble hitting a full sized silhouette target at 500 yards with iron sights. But gotta love the 3x energy delivery a 123gr 6.5 Grendel bullet can land at that 500 yard distance!!!

@Frank The Tank I was being a little sarcastic with the BB comment. But yeah, its not really designed for long range like the grendel.

What muzzle brake do you have on the grendel?

Love my Custom Grendel Hunter AR15 in a 20" ss barrel. It's so easy to shoot at range and it hits ALOT harder than 5.56 does.

Do you think the CMMG 6.5 Grendel complete upper would work on my Daniel Defense DDM4 lower? And do you recommend getting a new BCG? New sub here and thanks for sharing.

@@PrecisionRifleNetwork I also meant to add, Duramag makes mags that can interchange! The 28rd 7.62X39mm mag, and 26 rd Grendel and 6.8 SPC can use each others mags! Some friends and I discovered this at the range one day; noticing how these mags have the exact same exterior measurements. So we swapped, loaded, fired and had fun while we tested them. Later, when I couldn't find mags for the first two calibers, I bought some for the 6.8, and, as expected, _they worked great for both my calibers!_ I hope this helps someone with their supply problems.

Hard to find magazines that will work well with the 6.5. Mine needed work on the ejector. buffer and gas block. I love the cartridge. Also had to polish and work the feed ramp.

Which of all of those do you like best as a do it all cartridge? Personally I think that the 6 ARC is the perfect combo of weight selection, speed, and ballistics. Can shoot light bullets 3200+ for defeating armor, varmints, or just as a mid range flat shooter and heavies for hunting and long range.

Snipers hide I think.

I'm a little torn between getting a 12" Grendel or a 12" 6mm arc. Trouble is Grendel is going pretty slow from a 12" bbl, but it keeps that energy well and has better bullet mass for hunting. 6mm arc is even less efficient in a short barrel but has a lot more starting velocity, so a short barrel will still have fantastic velocity, and even 105 gr bullets have excellent BC in 6mm arc. But Grendel has steel ammo.... i love my 18" Grendel but it's effectively a bench gun. After I got a 12" 350 legend I just LOVE that size, so darn handy.

My 12" Grendel is Home defense, hunting and capable of going out to 800 yards. If hunting is more important than long range shooting, go Grendel. If long range is the priority over hunting, then 6mm arc might serve you better. They both can be effective, but are better at different jobs.

What is the barrel length on the Grendel?

A Sanders Armory Grendel upper is the best investment a 5.56 owner can make to get into the Grendel game without breaking the bank.

To be more accurate about the whole USMC zero thing: we do sometimes do a 36 m zero, BUT we use the 300 m aiming point in the reticle when doing it (not the center of the reticle). That means it's still a 100 m zero in the end, and we still will usually confirm at 100 and make final adjustments at 100. The 36 m is a means of getting an expedient zero using a well defined aimpoint within the reticle (the 300 m aim point).

Basically 224 flopped. It was launched in the wrong barell twists and was unable to stabilize the 90s. Basically companies rechambered 1:7 223 ar15 barells. It was good with the lighter stuff up to 77s but then it is pointless given a 223 could basically do the same thing. It's since had faster barrels but no one is really interested anymore given the overhyped launch that didn't live up to expectations. Dead caliber for the most part.
