[QUOTE="Sharpshooter, post: 679385, member: 10048"] If you look at the available loading data on the 68 SPC II cartridge the 6.5 Grendel has NOTHING on the 6.8 out to 500 yards. After 500 yards then the Grendel has the edge. The problem is that the 6.8 does what it does efficiently with a 16 inch barrel and the Grendel does what it does with a 20 inch barrel. It is my opinion and and nothing more than that at all. Based on that fact and the fact I have never shot and killed anything over 500 yards I think the 6.8 SPC is really an excellent choice in an AR hunting round. It gives you 80% of the .308 Winchester in an AR15 form factor and is a huge increase in energy over the 5.56mm . There is not much to not like about the 6.8 SPC. I am not saying the Grendel is a bad round but the 6.8 was specifically designed to work out of a 16 inch barrel and I dont think that is a bad thing YMMV. [/QUOTE]
