Yes I do. Killed everything is shot with it. Very accurate and it performed well with 120gr fusions. The Grendel is on the bottom. 6.8SPC on the top.

What length are each of those Marsh? The Grendel is a 20” and the 6.8 is 16”. Both shoot better then I can shoot them.

I’ve had a couple, and might build another, but they didn’t suit my specific purpose at the time as well as a 6.8 or regular 5.56 did. If I get back into stretching AR15s past 3-400 as a rule, it’d be the better non-wildcat for that. As it is, I get better use out of lighter and shorter hunting ARs inside 300, or stepping up to an AR10 in size for longer range. If you need one gun to do both and don’t mind some extra barrel length and weight, to optimize it, the Grendel fills in great. Yes, it ‘can’ do good hunting work at normal hunting ranges, and with shorter barrels....it just isn’t as optimal for those criteria (IME), as the 6.8, but loads/powders are changing all the time, and there might be a factory 120gr Grendel load that gets more than 2400fps from a 16” tube, but the 2700-2800 I’m seeing with the 120gr accubonds in the 6.8, were a better prospect at the time, since I wanted a light, short gun that’d work the best inside of 300, handloads or not. I only have one AR with longer than 18” of barrel. I personally hate long barrels on ARs.....but the 6.5 will work short, it just isn’t nearly as efficient or fast out of the gate, the more you go under 22-24.
