It's an improvement over .223 with stellar ballistics and can be used with the same lower and upper. Can astute readers explain why someone should own upper+barrel assemblies for both calibers? If they shouldn't, would that not imply the newcomer is redundant? It seemed to me the 6.5 Grendel serves as a good intermediate caliber.
