The 6.5 Grendel is truly impressive.

After all of the recent testing by the military on alternate rounds to possibly replace the aging 5.56mm X 45mm round, I was surprised that the 6.8 SPC seems to have won on the popularity contest between it and the 6.5 Grendel.
I suppose it's because of the 6.8's slight advatages at CQB ranges.
I still wonder if the 6.5 will stand the test of time however. The 6.8 SPC seems to have taken off and there are several manefacturers producing both weapons and ammunition for that caliber on a regular basis. When the 10mm first came out everyone seemed to jump on that boat, but after the introduction of the .40 SW you hardly hear anything about it.

Even if it is more popular than the 6.5 Grendel, even the 6.8 SPC is at rish of fading out. (like the .41 Magnum too,)
