First let me say that I love my AR and find that 5.56 is a much better round than many seem to give it credit for. That said, I find myself pining a bit for something that can really reach out and touch from a nice, light platform. I have been entertaining the Grendel for just such a role.
All the marketing hype would have you believe this is a true 1,000 yard cartridge and tennis ball sized grouping at 600 yards. Sounds compelling. Also, the knockdown power is supposedly well suited to big game hunting and barrier penetration.
What's the real truth? Anyone actually own a Grendel? Is it all that it's made out to be? Are elk a possibility with this cartridge?
Please, someone sort out the hype from the reality for me.
