The reaction from the chickens were more dramtic with the 7.62x39. I think it dumped more energy into them. Thats why the 6.5 had more penetration.

Great video. Glad the variables were as consistent as possible. A lot of these videos will have bias/favoritism and/or at least not be a fair comparison with one barrel being several inches longer than the other, or two different bullet constructions or something else. Woulda been cool to see a 16” 6.8 SPC with a 120 grain SST in there as well.
@thegundungeon Жыл бұрын
Thank you, I try to make things as fair as I can, sometimes it’s not possible to be as close as these two were, but I try to be close and point out any advantages in variables if there are any. 6.8 is a round I haven’t gotten into, I may have to cause I like the numbers it produces.

Great video guys, you chose excellent pairings. I am a fan of both cartridges, and agree that the Grendel is better at distance. At close range, the 7.62 is going to make a bigger hole and dump its energy rapidly. I bet little man knows the difference between an AK and an AR.

I'll still go with the Grendel as it's made for distances farther than ten yards or less, and for medium game, or for self-defense in which it does crazy damage. For extreme close quarters, there are 5.56/.223 rounds in the defensive 62 and 64 grain realm much better suited (e.g. silver-tip, not the military green tip).

The biggest reason (in the past) to buy 7.62x39 was for either for an AK type platform, cheap Russian ammo, or both. Sans that, there is no reason to buy a new gun in 7.62x39 anymore, especially if you pay factory American ammo prices. Nice video.

X39 is surprisingly fun to play with on the reloading bench even with having to use the odd ball .310” bullets. Sst and Speer gold dots are good for deer, and I have some varmageddon bullets that are specifically for defense, catastrophic expansion

The 6.5 Grendel had more power at any range and it gets even more prevalent at distance There’s anatomically no comparison, different constructed rounds function differently but it doesn’t change the fact that the 6.5 Grendel shouldn’t even be in the class with the 7.62x39. How is even a debate?
