Blackops_2,
The first point is that the .243 and 30-30 are classic cartridges. The comoparisons were made in that spirit using what appears to be the most popu;ar factory loads.
The second point is that the game potential uses the Hornady HITS methpdology.
Choosing a hot handload with bullets not normally available in factory ammunition distorts the comparison. The closest to the load you describe is the 95 gr Hornady SuperFormance. Using this load for comparison would further substantiate th e conclusions.
Bottom line -- the Grendel is an AR-15 cartridge that has serious medium game potential and is showing that in actual field performance.
