Hmm... A hollow victory, as I can't imagine getting from 1352 to 1413 overnight. Unless, of course, all the night shifters, along with the European contingent of the Horde were active in the last 10 1/2 hours. I suspect in reality, some cookie bandits were at work.

[Drifter]

Maybe I missed it, but is there a deadline on voting? Or an article planned based on the results? Or is it just something remaining on the website to generate traffic to help G&A sell advertising?

Just wondering, as the poll is dated December 9, 2013.

[NugginFutz]

Well, none of their links to stories are up at the moment, so no telling what the deal is.

Some foolishness going on.

JASmith had it right, I think. It's now another meaningless bit of fanboy tributes ...

I voted.

I voted for a couple of guys who own the Grendel but aren't on the forum to know about the poll. At least they're still alive.

It was published in a magazine last year, was one of the $11 magazines, I spend too much money on. I suspect it will be published again, the next one of those mags is coming out next month I think.

Just added to the slight Grendel lead. A bit surprised to see the 223/5.56 as the leader with all the complaining that
it gets.

There is a huge number of folks whose only AR is a 223/556. Your observation might explain why the Grendel & 6.8 are so close to the .2235/5.56.

223.5.56 is no surprise. Since I have two Grendels I voted twice.

[radian23]

Voted!

[LongRanger]

The 6.5 Grendel has roughly half as many votes as the .223 Remington cartridge has and is now in second place to the .223. Considering that there are probably 100 times more .223 AR's out in the hands of gun owners, the 6.5 Grendel is putting up an amazing showing in this survey. That has to tell you something.

[Keep The Change]

Alright the Grendel has passed the 6.8 and .300 blackout. It is a niche round now, but hopefully over time it will continue to grow into a round that manufacturers will take notice and begin producing an AR 6.5 G option.
