Texaspatriot- you are exactly right, I'm trying to keep that into consideration, if things get bad there is a ton more 308, 7.62x51 ammo.
OK I am a huge 6.5 fan, but the 308 is a better medium game caliber vs the Grendal, simply due to it's versitility and sheer energy. Now if you were looking at 308 vs 260 rem, 6.5 Creedmore or 6.5x55 I will go 6.5 every time, because they have better external ballistics and are darn close on energy. 6.5x55 has been the best hunting rifle I have ever used hands down, it kicks so light I can watch my bullets hit through the scope (@ only 6lbs), hits so hard I have never had to track anything...ever, it makes less noise then a .38 cal handgun, and is scarry accurate with darn near every handload I have ever tried. If there were ever a perfect hunting rifle that is it.
TimC, how do you like the eliminator? thought about getting the new III when it comes out. Did you find a load close enough to the grendel? Itll be for my 6.5 Grendel also.
