I have no first hand experience with this round but after looking at ballistics online I would definitely want the 18.6. For me another 75 fps wouldn't make it worth the extra length and weight on a handy hunting rifle.

I've been waiting for years for a non-restricted Grendel autoloader, finally had to settle with a howa mini-action. Absolutely delightfull rifle.
With 20" semi- heavy barrel it weighs 7.5 lbs scoped.
My vote is for a 20" barrel as a good compromise between velocity and portability.
He can't shoot like that with a stock Savage and a Bushnell scope
Thanks for the sale. Finally pulled the trigger on a 6.5 creedmore for my 102.
