Welcome, Z1957! With the right load, 6.5 Grendel ain't gonna have that much recoil over 5.56N. Unless you just like 5.56N for wider ammo selection and SHTF scenarios.
What I'm saying is, don't get boxed into the thinking that 65G is long-range only. It also excels up close, as well. It's versatility from CQB to air-strike distance is its beauty and its genius!

Howdy was looking for any Buckeyes in the forum. I finally got my Grendel up and running kind of late. Only got to put 17 rds through. RR lower, crap can't think of barrel, Luopold scope, Magpul stock, 20 inch barrel. I bought several boxes of Hornady and Wolf will work on accuracy in spring. Ron

Or, you can buy a short barrel for home defense, and a long barrel for the extra muzzle velocity at long range.
If you use 5.56, you need a different bolt. The Grendel and Beowulf use the same bolt.
Here's a Fast Rail with a Beowulf barrel mounted and a Grendel barrel above:

Welcome. I also have a Quick Barrel Change system, the MGI, which takes about 30 seconds, but I still like leaving my 5.56 uppers dedicated and use the take-down system for convenience of cleaning, storing, maintaining, and experimenting with different barrels or calibers.Last edited by Guest; 12-17-2011, 05:08 AM.
