We think a lot alike, and I've had similar experiences. If I'm going to deer hunt with the 7.62x39, I will keep the shots inside 150 and maayyybe stretch one to 200 if the conditions are just right (my hand loads easily carry 1K ft. lbs. and are 1900 fps at 200 yards). However the added range the 6.5G might provide in the same platform is tempting. I'd have to shoot them both to really know though.
Getting closer...
Been shooting my Howa Mini 7.62x39 for a while now, and it's 6.5 Grendel brother is on it's way. A side-by-side test at the range will be a lot of fun.
