[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1930180, member: 101755"] I have not read all the posts, but to me it seems like a simple answer. Heavy for caliber = high BC 6mm bullets will work fine in a Grendel class case. 6.5mm heavy for caliber will not work in a Grendel case. So you dont get the BC benefit. The Grendel case class is suited for bullets up to 120gr. 6mm tops out at 108gr IIRC, where 6.5mm 150gr is about the top. I really like hunting deer and hogs with a 6.5 Grendel but if I wanted to go long for steel 6mm would be my choice. I dont care too much for deer hunting with anything lighter than 6.5mm. [/QUOTE]
