[QUOTE="dk17hmr, post: 609418, member: 21384"] I feel the 6.8 is here to stay. I have 4 rifles chambered in 6.8, and if I ever have kids that want to hunt they will be using 6.8's until they start elk hunting. Although I might work up a good load this summer for my Ruger with 110gr Accubonds incase I do run into an elk when deer hunting. The little round kills way better than it should and does better at longer ranges than it should. There isnt much velocity difference between my 16" and 20", the long barrel has less muzzle blast. I shoot my 20" and 18" AR's out to 550 pretty often ussally just busting rocks and smacking steel. But I would take a coyote at that distance with one and not think twice. Stock up on brass, I like Remington and Hornady. Barnes has an 85gr MPG that was on sale, I bought 6 or 700 for under $100, makes for a good plinking/coyote bullet. [/QUOTE]
