Sorry but no 6.5 grendel is in a hole driffrent league
Its performance is far beyond what a 762x39 could do
I agree that the 39 is a fantastic bush gun
I had one which is one of the guns i sold to buy the grendel
But the grendel is far better 123gn at 2750 100gn at almost 3000
Better bc's could easily shoot a deer at 400 with the right loading 762 is limited to 150 200 if your good
