Alot of this is due to it being a "reload" caliber and different powders have different burn rates and different powder volumes.
Having the adj gas block allows you to "tune" it to the load you are shooting. With a suppressor it is even more so. On mine it is almost all the way off.
I have an adjustable gas system (block or tube or BCG) on every AR I own, and would NEVER have a 6.8, Grendel, .300blk or any non 5.56 round AR without one.

Did you consider the Valkyrie for this?
What is the primary purpose of the gun. Varmits I would go Valk, Larger I would go Grendel.

Honestly they both look like they would do the job for just about anything I would want to do and I like the heavier ammo options of the 6.5.
The grendel info I give you is honest. I like having more bullet weight and diameter. I also like having more displacement to start with. It also does not blow up bullets as bad so the NBT works great. It will have about the same wind dope as the Valk but you will have to dial in more drop at 1000yds, The drop is the easy, the wind is tricky.
