Ar Platform. 6.5 vs 6.8

[lattin1]

My understanding is that the 6.5 grendel has slightly better ballistics at long range. One thing the 6.8 can do that the 6.5 can't is cycle with subsonic suppressed rounds. Not sure if thats a consideration for you but thought I'd throw that out there.

I looked at all the options before settling on a 6.8spc build. I am very happy with the caliber and the overall build. I have always wanted a .260 or 6.5creedmor and still one day want to build a 6.5creedmor but I wanted this build to be a hunting rig and so I went with the 6.8spc. You can feel how much more power and knockdown it has over the 5.56 when shooting it. I have been testing mine out with the 120grain Hornady and have enjoyed the way it is performing when I do my part.

Which 6.8 upper did you go with?
