Contradicting feedback on the 6.5Grendel for hunting

[akula682]

I guess you all didnt get the "memo"...
North American game animals started wearing body armor about 15-20 years ago. (id post a pic of the "letter" that the Game Animal Representative gave me 20 years ago, but it was written on a moist cow patty and has since turned to dust.)

thats why we need bigger and bigger guns... and THATS why the Grendel is not "enough".

hahaha, must use at least a .338 edge for 4 legged animals now.

Squirrels have been using foxholes for some time now...need an even bigger cannon to get through that dirt!

brilliant!

I'm telling you, there IS a reason I went to the Beowulf for prairie dog hunting!

Those concrete bunkers are getting tougher and tougher!

I'm seriously thinking about one of these for my next prairie dog hunt:

I did BDA for the A10/GAU8 in 1975 at Nellis -- Impressive! That small bullet could actually get through more than a couple of inches of armor.

It would indeed surprise a squirrel that thought he was safe!

I have one barrel from one. Unfortunately that's as far as I ever got. It's been leaning in the corner of my buddies gun shop for years. I wish I'd have followed through on the project before I got married and had a family, but maybe I'll get back to it someday.

That's why I had to switch to the Grendel in the first place. I needed that sectional density for all of those up armored white tails!LOL

That project would certainly "one-up" the Knights folks' .950 JDJ in the link a few posts back!

A 30mm Anti-Tank rifle would be sick. Every neighborhood should have one, just in case. It would be perfect for where I live, since we can find distances that challenge any rifle/optic/cartridge to shoot at. A 30mm HEDP or API would be way too much fun on boulders.
