[QUOTE="threejones, post: 608915, member: 27464"] Wow, thanx guys. That's exactly the info I was looking for. I'm kinda of a gun gypsy, so if I decide this isn't going to be what I'm looking for I'll just sell the upper and move on to the next cartridge. If the round doesn't have a good following a couple years down the road, it's going to be harder to get a good price for it. More importantly, if I like it, and it proves to be a good hunting round for me, I'm going to want to tinker with loads. If the big manufactures drop the round, my bullet selection will will dry up. Not to mention brass, and different uppers, etc. Prehaps I've been asking the wrong question. It looks like the civilian AR15 market is going to be the key to either rounds "staying power". I know the Grendel was designed as more of a bench shooter/longer range round. While the SPC was created to give better terminal preformance at longer ranges than the 5.56. The Grendel should meet my needs as a coyote/deer/hog round. But, does the Grendel have enough following to gain the favor the big bullet makers, especially if the 6.8SPC doesn't? I know I should suck it up and just buy one of them and start shooting. But I'm paying out-of-pocket for my wife to finish her degree right now, so new rifles have to be bought on a tighter budget than I'm used to (at least for the next 4 semesters... then it's GAME ON:D) So please, help me out. This thing is gonna be my only big toy for at least the next couple years, and I don't want to blow it on some flash in the pan. Thanx again for your input guys! Cody [/QUOTE]
