I'm thinking about building or buying one of these. Some factors to consider here:
- I can reload .308, and COULD reload 6.5G if I wanted (just need the dies). I already have all the stuff for .308 reloading though, and have another gun in that caliber already.
- No AR-10 will be as modular as any AR-15. I doubt I could just slap a new barrel and mag into an AR-10 and have a new caliber.
- Given the way runs on ammo happen these days, I'd like to avoid 5.56/.223 altogether, along with any components that caliber uses (.224 bullets, small rifle primers, which I suppose 6.5G also uses).
- Is anyone going to care about 6.5 Grendel in 10 years?
- I hear 6.5G has "half the recoil" of .308 in a lot of places. True?
