As much as I like the 6.5 bullet.

There is a reason the military uses a 50 caliber to penetrate and stop hard targets, like trucks, light armored vehicles etc. Rather then a 6.5 Grendel.

The 6.5mm is probably one of the best all around game cartridges there is for most soft skinned game in Canada.....BUT as a bear stopper there are better choices.

My 9.3x62 would be one, easy on the shoulder hard on the critter.
