a really good 75-77 gr 5.56 will have about 500ft lbs of energy @ 500m give or take. that is OK for pest control.
a 6.5G has around 900lbs @ 900M nearly twice the energy at nearly twice the distance. enough juice to be far more effective on "bigger" game.
personally i like the 20" or maybe even a little longer BHW makes a hunting style 24" that weighs about the same as this h-bar 20" , target crown ,without a FH it is ain't much longer than the 20" with some of the longer FHs installed.
the 6.5g seems be 'tailor made" for the AR-15 and parts for it are hardly any more pricey that decent 5.56 stuff. with the steel case WPA wolf fodder it don't cost much more to shoot than a 5.56
i bought one of these barrels on a lark thinking it was too cheap to be any good ---
i got one of the stainless ones with a 30% discount code from slick guns -- don't know if that code still works.
have the stainless one up and running absolutely perfecto too. very good accuracy, shoots all most as good as my old AA set up.
they may have some 18" or 16" -- i don't think the 6.5 will lose as much velocity/energy as a 5.56 does with the barrel cropped back. i would guess an 18 would be hardly noticable from a 20" in that regard.
when you do a 6.5G it is kind of hard to go back to 5.56--lol

But I can make Amax reloads for about the same price as that steel case stuff..

I have plenty of 5.56 carbines, so not much incentive to build one again. My HD, CQM, and retro needs are pretty well covered with 5.56, whereas with all this open space to shoot in, I like something with good wind-bucking and retained energy, that has factory ammo support like the 6.5 Grendel.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Have the 223s, for shooting game at longer ranges will take the Grendel any day over them. Larger bullets, higher BC for less wind drift and more energy. Besides that the larger frontal diameter of the 6.5 will open a larger hole for a larger wound canal.
If going long with a 22 cal on game the 22-243 gets some field time. 75gr Swift Sirocco at 3200fps works very well. Can push it to 3500 but accuracy is good at 3200 and figure barrel life might be improved some with that over bore round not pushing it quite as hard.

we shot at 420yds with a 10 to 15 mph tail/cross wind this past summer. the6.5 hit every single shot. 120grain ppu. i had to break out the 77gr. hornady match grade to do the same. the wind is a bugger for the lighter 55grain ammo. nearly the same recoil, whats not to love about the grendel?
