[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2339615, member: 54383"] I think both are great and really shine for what they are. I would say if you know you will never shoot past 300 the 6.8 could have some intangibles. More frontal area for sure larger bore per same bullet weight which means it could use a shorter barrel. My opinion is that it’s probably a better hunting round out to 500 but after that the 6.5 probably takes over a 130gr 6.5 will have a fare better bc and the short case lends to the longer vld bullets. Wait did I just talk myself into a 6.8 for short range. Lol I think you are right it’s a crap shoot and I don’t think either is better in real world terms just preference. To be fair I dragged my feet for years thinking the 6mm grendel would be the cats *** for an ar size round. Didn’t want to spend the coin for a 6mm turbo so I bought a 6.5 and the next year bam 6mm arc. [/QUOTE]
