[QUOTE="superA, post: 484198, member: 5329"] There is a good thread going on at 6.5 grendel about this subject. It seems that more attention has been devoted to developing anti-personal rounds in the 6.8 caliber. Quicker yaw and fragmentation for the 6.8. I believe the 110 grain Hornady open tip match have preformed the best. Given the two, from the research and questions I have asked. 6.5 Grendel is the way to go. It should penetrate better and I'm not concerned with being stuck with bullets that the military has to use. The Grendel will outshoot the 6.8 at any range. The 6.5 bullet just fly's better. Under 500 yards the 6.8 appears to offer slightly better terminal performance. I don't feel for me that that slight difference would outweigh the penetration and long distance characteristics that the Grendel offers. All from reading and none from testing on my own. I do believe that a 6.5 bullet could be constructed that would best the 6.8 lethality. One thing I found impressive is the Grendel using 144 grain bullets easily penetrated glass that was designed to stop the .308. It is a great sight, I've been a member for a little while. Lot's of great guys with a lot of knowledge. [/QUOTE]
