Grendel can do it, but it's not really the envelope. The variables at that distance are exponentially more important and the effect is as great. Grendel really is a 800 to 950 yard toy. Beyond that is doable, but the knowledge required to do it repeatably are drastic. Many report making it happen. It can be done.
However, if that kind of range is on the regular menu, there are far better choices in caliber. There are none, however, in the AR15 platform. And what is out there is nowhere near as fun to shoot.
Doable, of course. Proven even. Repeatable, maybe. Likely? Not hardly. Realism here is your friend. If you want to walk up to the firing line and reach out that far regularly, 6.5 is good. More powder is better
