[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1536437, member: 2736"] I love my 6.8 for many reasons and the fact that It works well in a AR 15 makes it an ideal hog rifle. The 6.8 rounds can be loaded in the 223 Mags in a pinch and the 20 round will hold 10. It was made to meet or beat the 7.62 x 39 with the correct loading it can produce 2002 ft/lbs of energy compared to 1500 to 1600 ft/lbs of the 7.62 x 39 and 1300+ for the 5.56 x 45 (223 rem). It is very accurate and for a small round very powerful. Many test were made trying the 6.5, .277, .284 and .308 bullets and The .277 (270) bullet won out with the best energy and trajectory for it's case size. It also works well in a 16" barrel but gives up some velocity and energy. I recommend a 22" to 24" barrel for best overall performance. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
