All things are relevant. I have tore up mule deer shoulders/ribs with a .260 running super fast. Punched pin holes through coyotes with slower big game bullets, and also pie plate exits using 95gr. bullets traveling at a much faster rate, all from the same rifle.
Matching your cartridge to your target, to the range you intend to shoot at that target, matched with a properly constructed bullet to best do the job all come into play.
I don't own a Grendel yet. I feel it would be a much better choice out in the varmint field then any of my other 6.5 variants. And if a Antelope, WT or Muley, happened to walk out within an acceptable range and I had the proper hunting bullet in my pocket, I would not feel under gunned in any sense of the word.

I agree, but the case size of a grendel only allows for the slower side of the spectrum. Your never going to be able to load it fast. You lose the versatility
