I have a 6.5 Grendel and am so impressed with the 24 inch overwatch model that I'm building an 18 inch one. The ballistics are quite impressive as you have already found, and it all fits neatly into an AR15 size weapon.

Of course, the Tikka is a wonderful rifle, and the 6.5 Swede has the same reputation in Europe and much of the world that our 30-06 does over here...
