That's why I built a 243 LBC (6mm Grendel) instead of a 6.5 Grendel.
I just get a little more velocity and better sectional density for penetration.
But in all honesty, I have better rifles for shots past 200 yds.

Missed this one earlier. I have both cartridges as well.
If you're looking for penetration, the 6.5 Grendel is the better choice of the two. Higher velocity in the 243 does NOT equal better penetration; most of the time it means less penetration and more fragmentation. It does shoot flatter than the Grendel though.
