[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3944154, member: 48072"] I've been in the "6mm conundrum" before. Was pretty set on a 6GT, but right at the end opted to just do another 6.5x47L as I already had a lot of .264 stuff on hand. I have killed in the neighborhood of ~75 hogs with 6 different bullets in the 6.5 Grendel. It is a very underrated cartridge, but its biggest downside is getting velocity without going to a light (and lower BC) bullet. The 100gr TTSX though is a hammer, and 2600-2,700 FPS is very attainable. I think Maker gets bullets as light as 85gr in .264 too. Those light monolithics can get ARC speeds out of your Grendel, and don't do a bad job of killing either. Target shooting, I think that the ARC has the edge though. I've also looked just a bit into a .22 Grendel. The 6 creed in a heavy bolt gun will probably allow you to spot impacts without a brake/suppressor, but it won't be easy. Those don't recoil much less than my 6.5x47Ls, and at 20+ power, I'll almost lose my target in the FOV during recoil. I don't shoot those with a brake or suppressor. [/QUOTE]
