Short mag... Duh lol. How is it better than a Grendel?

not having a grendel is better. i'm not a fanboy of long bullets and short cases. 1000 yard steel plates,,,ummm,,,practical applications please. the grendel folk get all wound up in bullet coefficient, sectional crosss density, blah, blah, blah. grendel bolt is the weak link of the gun. any scenario i can envision puts 300 yds as the extreme range for ethical hunting or other use. but, but, my grendel will ring steel at a 1000 yards LOL

He just wants to hate on the Grendel man. It's not all about hunting either... My Grendel is a target rifle and was built because it is a fun challenge to see how far out you can shoot. I went with the 6.5g because I like the AR platform and ammo is readily available and fairly inexpensive.

.243 WSSM is similar in that it requires a cut out bolt face, if I'm recalling correctly. Can you load heavy 6mm bullets with .243 WSSM in the AR15 mag? Like 105s and larger?

Upsides are it's a smaller bullet with more powder, so faster and more energy.
Downsides are it's a fatter case so lower mag capacity and less availability for ammo and cases.
