Newbie help here with 6.5 Grendel

[DSB OUTDOORS]

Thanks! Any reason not to buy the Sabre defence gun?

None what so ever. My upper is Sabre. Great rifles.

Sabre Defense is out of business, and so is C Products, although you can still find CProducts stuff here and there.

The 6.5 is a beast, and is capable of taking every game animal in North America I can think of.

300BLK is OK for brush hunting deer sized game, pigs, etc. as long as your shots are less than 200yds

No experience with 6.8, but it is a little annoying they have changed the loadings -SPC and SPC2- and some guns will not like the hotter rounds.

My choice is the 300blk for deer out to 200 yds and the 6mmx45 for deer/antelopes out slightly further. If I really feel the need to take a 400yd shot on a speed goat thats what the 308 bolt gun is for.

I have all 3. 6.5 Grendel, 300 Blk Out, and 6.8 SPC. They all have a spot in my heart. 6.5 great long distance + knock down power. 300 BKO .308 knock down power with fair distance. 6.8 SPC is a .270 cal bullet. good for hunting and long distance.

What about just putting a 6.5 upper on my M&P, and getting some mags? Is that a viable option?

Most defiantly a great one to considder. The only upper on the market right now that I know of is Alexander Arms, but as with every thing there backed up in the production.

Of course. Nothing wrong with that.

J you are still the man. Still looking to build a Grendel? Just fire formed a few more 7.62 X 39 brass into 6.5 Grendel!
