[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1630730, member: 94491"] If you have an old 6.8 chamber, they can be cleaned up quick and fairly cheep with a spc 2 reamer--but really no need if they shoot well as all factory ammo sold is "spec 1" -- so the spec 2 chamber only shines when it comes to handloads 6.5 g vs 6.8 spc has always been a bickering point--- they are so close that I consider them the same in an ar chassis 6.8vs 6.5 seems to be which ever you buy first, once you have 1 you dont really need the other as they are so close But if you are only getting 5 moa with the barrel you have then something is wrong, either try a new bullet/powder combo or try cleaning the copper out of the barrel. The 7.62x39 can be a good option if you pick the right bullet -- and as others said make sure you know what size you need .308 or .311 bullets. The 300bo can be decent also as long as you keep your distances under consideration-- the 110 tac-tx bullet is a wonderful option for that cartridge [/QUOTE]
