[QUOTE="bshaw, post: 686047, member: 11229"] Two years ago I was at the same point that you are. After months of research I went with the 6.8, built one with a 20" Shilen barrel and have not been disappointed. The reason I chose the 6.8 over the 6.5 is terminal ballistics, availability of components and ammo selection. The 6.8 ammo selection goes from 85g to 140gr bullets. There are, IMO, more suppliers of barrels, bolts and magazines for the 6.8. Below are links for ammo suppliers, components and you might want to check out the 6.8 forum for more info on this round. What ever you decide I don't think you will be disappointed both are devastating rounds for a variety of hunting scenarios using the AR platform.
