The 6.5 Grendel and 260 Remington seem like they would make a perfect pair in an AR and a Bolt Action.
They would both have good long range capability and incredible ballistic coefficients for their size, all with low recoil.
The Hornady 123gr A-max could be loaded to 2500fps in a Grendel AR, and to 2950fps in a Bolt Action 260 Rem for long range accuracy. (That bullet has a ballistic coefficient of .510)
The Hornady 120gr GMX could be loaded to the same velocities as above for hunting in both rifles, and if more penetration is needed, the 260 Remington can also push a 140gr SST bullet at 2700fps. (With a bc of .520)
Now, I just need each of you to go purchase one of each so the ammo and brass for these becomes more common. Thanks for your cooperation.
