Umm, the Grendel (and the current 6 ARC, and all it's 6mm Grendel wildcat predecessors) are cartridges designed for ARs. That's why they're the length they are, instead of something longer (for hunting/varmint guns) or shorter (for benchrest). What makes you think they were designed for bolt actions?


I never said they were, all I meant was that they are designed for and at their best in the AR15 platform. I am waiting patiently for a good upper to come my way in 6MM ARC. Probably play with it for a while and go on to the next cool cartridge. Still have my Grendel upper and like it. However 2700 fps and a good BC bullet might just replace it.
