6.5 this, 6.5 that how about the

What do y’all think about the 6.8.

Been looking at it and it looks good to me for a good mid (out to 400 yards) range cartridge.

Anybody here use one & what’s your thoughts.

6.8 SPC ? It’s a great round for what I’ve used it for, but on paper it doesn’t do what the Creedmoor does. I don’t own a Creedmoor, but I have two 6.8s, a dedicated NV gun and a daytime hog/coyote gun. Both ARs. I can tell you that up to 150 yards a high shoulder shot will put a big hog down and quick.

Just buy .270

A 6.8-06 would be good out to that range.

I think it’s solid AR hunting caliber. I’ve got one that my kids use

The 6.8 is a killing machine. You get 80% of the power of a 308 in a smaller package and with the 120gr. Hornady SST it is very effective. Lots of guys shoot the 110 gr with good results also.
If I was only allowed to own 1 gun I would keep my 6.8.

If you are stuck with an AR15 type gun for deer hunting, a 6.8SPc is what I would go with. For a bolt gun there are many mo better rounds IMO

[JakeGraves]

You will be limiting yourself on quality bullet selection. In an AR, I would take the 6.5 Grendel over the 6.8
In bolt Rifles, there are hundreds of better chamberings. As stated before, get a 270 if your sold on that 6.8 caliber.

6.8 here. Great caliber for hunting and performs well in a short barrel. Chose it over the grendel for hunting.

[muddyz]

As stated here, there are better offerings in other actions. But in AR it’s great if you know your distance limitations. Mine is a 12.5” so you have to know that after 200 yards it’s falling fast. But with the suppressor and inside of that distance it’s a machine.

Good one. I see what you did there.
