 Alexander Arms 6.5mm Grendel AR-15 Rifle
While the Grendel was designed for long range target work and hunting, the Remington was developed for anti-personnel use at ranges out to about 400 yards.
For long range work, the Grendel’s case design has a decided advantage over the Remington when using long bullets of a high ballistic coefficient design, because both cartridges are limited in length by the size of the AR-15 magazine.
In the accompanying photo, it is illustrated in the cutout cases that a 130 grain.270 (6.8mm) bullet with a similar ballistic coefficient to the 120 grain.264 (6.5mm) bullet intrudes greatly upon the case capacity of the Remington cartridge, effectively limiting the bullets used in that cartridge to the stubbier 115 grain class of bullets.
