[QUOTE="alex.sevilla.98, post: 437809, member: 26880"] I think this [I]discussion forum [/I]may have lost sight of the original posted question, which was the 6.8SPC or the 6.5 Grendel...I think it ultimately ends up being a decision based on the availability of the rounds. I admit I may have worded my statement about the bow/arrow incorrectly. No doubt, the .223 has more lethality than the bow/arrow. I have yet to see a single video or hear of a single incident where a bow/arrow produced a DRT kill. I have though seen it with the .223. Besides all that, the military uses .223/5.56 in the M4 and M16 systems... US Army expects kills out to 300meters and USMC I believe is 500meters (and we're not hunting deer)... Don't quote me on the latter as I do not serve in the Marine Corps. Lastly, I looked up a couple of things about these cartridges and found that the Grendel offers more bullet selection...Besides that, they seem about the same (somehere between the .223 and .308). Good luck, I hope I was helpful. [/QUOTE]
