6.5 Grendel vs 300 Blackout

If you're looking for a general purpose hunting setup for an AR15, there's one choice that really stands out. That's 6.5 Grendel. Then there's a round that is generally cheaper, easier and a lot of fun, but how does the 300 Blackout do in the hunting role in comparison the the 6.5?
