300win mag vs 6.5 Grendel

[titsonritz]

What we really need to do is figure out a way to use the 6.5G as a projectile for the .300WM! Maybe a delayed ignition to extend your range, or ignition on impact to ensure penetration... We can call it the .300 Wendel Mag!

So, what do you guys think?

I think it has been done - 6.5mm Remington Magnum both have linage to the granddaddy of belted magnums, the 375 H&H

I think you might have misread my idea...

I don't want to use a 6.5 projectile, I was to use 6.5 Grendel AS the projectile!

It's like keeping a spare car in the bed of your truck instead of a spare tire. Same idea.

Got it.

Totally.....a .223 with a 69 GR smk or 75 GR will bang steel at 800 EASY. I own a custom made rem 700 with a 1/8 twist, bell and Carlson stock. Shoots like a laser out to 700 yards. Learning to reload opens up another world of shooting, all kinds...long range, hunting, handgun, cowboy action....best hobby ever, besides women

Nah! Don't y'all know bullets literally stop and fall out of the air at a certain distance!? 223 stops at 400 yards! 308 can't possibly go past 800 yards! And I definitely don't have a friend who likes to shoot 12 in steel plates at 400 yards with his .22lr (with about 20 feet of hold).

Depends, Batman is not to be underestimated

That depends of whether or not Batman is wearing his kryptonite under wear or not.

Did it leave a mark?

I have punched through old scsi hard drives at 1k with my 6mm CM
Im not really a hunter, but that seems reasonably tough, for what its worth.

I have been very happy with mine for that last 7 years (was an BIG improvement over 800m+ drop with 308 still worked just dropped a lot)

My 10 cents

Didn't read the whole thread but my 6.5 grendel is a pleasure to shoot suppressed

 

[bsa1917hunter]

Not even a point of conversation. 300 win mag at 1000 is a dump truck in energy, 6.5 Grendel is a 68'. Vw bug. Plainly comparing.

That's about right. As much as I don't like the 300wm, I'd have to say it trumps anything with the name grendel in it...

The 6.5 Rem Mag made no sense. A short action belted cartridge. At least the .264 Win Mag had some powder capacity.

 

[Whisky Tahoe]

The best part about combining these new projectiles like the Nosler ABLR, Swift Scirocco, or Barnes bullets with the 6.5 Grendel is that they make a 12"-12.5" Grendel into a viable hunting platform.

I'd love to see someone try hunting with a 12" .300 Win Mag!

It's a NFA legal flame thrower.... but only if you use a brace not a stock...ouch

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Kill it and grill it!"

Can Superman beat up Batman?

Depends, Batman is not to be underestimated

Batman has Robin to bite at Superman's ankles during the big dust-up.
Game change-ah.
