Currently using a 6.5 Grendel in an ar platform but the rifle is just so heavy.

Looking at the 20 in ruger American gen 2 it’s only 6.6lbs.

Anyone using this round ? I do not live in a straight wall ammo state. But knockdown and recoil seems right for them. Thoughts ?

.223 or 6arc seems to be the recommendation. I have a .350 and while it kills deer just fine, I would not use it over those if I had the choice.

Here's what I've learned in the last 5-6 years.

Recoil matters, a lot. "Handles it pretty well" is way way different from "ideal for building skills as a rifleman." My oldest loves to...
