    Colt LE901-16S (.308)

      My paper cutter got me and my club some tasty backstraps and one of the best smoked hind quarters we've had.

          Looks like a sponsor list.

            I posted this:
            The editors should take another look at the 6.5 Grendel.

            There are two reloading handbooks for the 6.5 Grendel and a host of AR rifles available for it.

            These demonstrate that the cartridge is an excellent medium game round capable taking of any game up through at least the size of elk.

            The trajectory is comparable to that of the .308 Winchester and the recoil is like the .243 Winchester.

            I wonder how many will believe my signature is real? (LOL)

            PS The list might indeed be drawn from the sponsors. The caliber mix has some cartridges that might be less than ideal for the average deer hunter.

              Is funny that the 6.5 creemore and the 260 rem are not on that list, two of the best IMO

                Some times you can't lead a horse to water, or make them drink. Give em some more KoolAid.

                  .300 Win Mag for deer. Maybe for long-range hunting. No way are you going to hike the hills with a 300 WM Nemo Arms.

                  Seems like they went out of their way to not mention the Grendel. Can anyone think of a cartridge that offers more performance from within the AR15 on deer?

                    The 300BLK takes precedence over the 6.5 Grendel as a deer cartridge? All credibility is lost

                        If the placement of a 450 bushmaster bullet is slightly off and hits the front quarter, there will be nothing left up front.....30% loss of meat.....lol.

                              You are shameless. But I like that.
