[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1270484, member: 4566"] I can buy the 400 FPS claim with the same bullet weights. A 277 with the same weight slug will have a lot more bore area for gas to push on and quite a bit less bearing surface than a 6.5. I don't see the Grendel or the SPC as any kind of LR round anyway especially in gas guns with the 18" tubes that many come with. The Grendel may have a THEORETICAL advantage past 400 but NEITHER round is a LEGIT 400 YD deer round anyway except under extreme circumstances. Yeah I know Jethro's brothers bruncle killed a 32 point at 1200 yds with one, but there are a lot of massively better rounds out there for 400+ yd work, some of them even come in the AR platform.
