Respectfully, the 6.5 Grendel is not a 500 yard whitetail cartridge. It has less energy out there than a .30-30 at 200 yards, and drops over 51 inches.
Sure it isn’t ideal and if shots beyond that were likely I’d be out of luck but all aspects considered I’d still pull the trigger out to 500. Velocity is more than sufficient for expansion. It’s 10” lower than my 165gr 30-06 at that range which I can easily dial for and with less wind drift. The energy is lower than I’d prefer, obviously, but then it is still on par with a .44mag at point blank and more than double the energy of 9mm, .45acp, and a broadhead from a bow and I’ve managed to kill deer handily with all of those.
