[QUOTE="Southbreeze, post: 653411, member: 32645"] Kev's got a point on feeding and reliability with x39 in an AR platform. I've got one that I run suppressed. Especially with blaster ammo, it gets dirty quickly and that really aggravates the situation. Using the Hornady steel cased ammo with the 123grn bullet helped with much cleaner burning ammo. It whacks everything with authority, but still seeing relilability issues. I ended up getting a 300BLK upper and no more issues of any kind. Sub-ammo stabilizes and full bang ammo both run with zero problems. All normal mags and bcg's run it, nothing but a barrel is required. Of your two choices, based on shear hog killing ability only: 6.5g hands down, IMHO. It has an acknowledged ability for long range accuracy and that'll let you take longer shots than you'd normally shoot with a x39. Good luck and even better hunting with your choice, Breeze [/QUOTE]
