[QUOTE="Maol, post: 2120021, member: 98340"] Harrison, at AR15 Performance lays out his caliber choice opinion- "If hunting deer and hogs the 6.8 makes more sense, it is a no fuss no muss work horse. There are more choices of hunting bullets and ammo and the 6.8 factory ammo is apx 100fps faster than the Grendel when the same length barrels and bullet weights are used. If you reload the 6.8 can be loaded 200fps faster than the Grendel and do it without breaking bolts like the Grendel does. A larger dia bullet moving 100fps faster = better terminal performance. SD does not mean anything, as soon as the bullet strikes something that SD figure is no longer valid. The bullet construction and expansion is the most important thing for hunting. Having more hunting bullet choices and better terminal performance puts the 6.8 out front for hunting." His ARP 6.8 SPC barrels' chambers have more free bore, and are more beneficial if you handload. Our family has 2 with 20 inch barrels, but you could go much shorter than that with the 6.8. [/QUOTE]
