Default RE: 6.8 SPC ???

6.5 Grendel is a round to consider also. The 6.8 was not that well taken by the armed forces. It was kinda shoved down their throats during testing in which it initially did not fair very well.

I know a friend that has one and has shot deer with it and its ok there for a compact short range round. I personally don't care for the .277 bullet diameter.

I do know from experiences in test firing the 6.5 Grendel for the manufacturer that it performs very well out to 600 yards.

Not that either upper will be cheap though. At least you can get 6.5 loading stuff. Where as 6.8 is supposed to be hard to find right now....
