I agree with the reasons everyone has mentioned for the benefits of the Grendel as bolt gun. In fact, my best friend/shooting buddy and I are gathering components for a Grendel benchrest rifle. We view it as a versatile cartridge with a great lineage, competing in both group and score matches. We love the challenge of going a different route. Besides, we can always rebarrel it if we can't work out a competitive load.
