If I was to a AR 10 I think I would go 260 or creedmoore. Big fan of small bullets going really fast  :drool:
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

I shoot a lot of 100gr a-max out of mine.  Inside of 500 yards the lower BC vs heavier bullets is not a big deal to me, and recoil is almost nothing.

I been shooting 123 & 100 A-max out of my Grendel and love it. Can shoot it all day with no recoil fatigue  :tup: Got a box of 85 gr sierra to try out later.

Yeah no recoil issues at all, another big plus to the grendel. 

Got my grendel out for the second time today, put another 20 thru it so only 40 total.  $300 brownells 18" barrel&Bolt, $60 BSA scope, $65 ALG Defense Combat trigger, Hornady 123G Amax.  My shakey self behind the trigger and it still shoots subMOA with barely more recoil than an 556 AR.

[quote author=lamrith 

Whatched a 16" Grendel carbine this last season jam a Mulie in the dirt at 303 yard and a Bull Elk at 411. Same carbine has a one shot stop on a Mulie at 496 yards. It can be done but I'm leaning more towards a 6.5 Creedmoore on th AR10 platform for this coming season.

Can someone tell me what a Grendel carbine does for ft lb of energy at 300 to 500 yards. IMHO a 243 isn't much of an elk gun let alone  a Grendel at 500yards. I was read a gun writer  said a 1000 ft lb of energy for a deer rifle.  My 500 yard elk rifle says Weatherby 340, when you want to reach out and touch one.
