i've been thinking about getting a different upper for my AR. For what ever reason 6.8 is what I was thinking. I've read a lot of other post that people say 6.5 Grendel would be a better choice due to down range performance. I really could not see myself shooting past 3 to 400 yards. I guess I would be more interested in the cartridge that feeds and functions the best between the two. So I guess what I'm really asking is for those who have a 6.8 why did they choose it? Thanks

WHile I plan to add a 6.5 to the stable, I picked 6.8 at the time for higher availability of parts and ammo. Using an AR15Performance barrel and the right loads, it has plenty of energy out to 400 yards.
|
|
6.8 is GTG. If I planed on needing something longer range I would probably be using a bolt action gun anyway.
|
|
What are you using it for ??
If Hunting the 6.8 and 6.5G are about the same. I like the 6.8 personally. Cant say why but it is a hard hitter for hunting with little recoil. |
|
I went 6.8 b/c I can find more ammo for it than 6.5 or 300. I also do some hog hunting 100 yards and under and the 6.8 has done the job.

6.8 is pure awesome... It's what the 5.56 should be. Light, easy to carry, good range, extremely lethal, very efficient cartridge. It is now my favorite go to hunting round.
|
|
I'd use it for fun and I'd like to start hunting deer. Mainly I'd like a little bigger bullet than what the 5.56 has to offer. How does it feed and function overall? Any inherent reliability issues? Thanks for the replies.

Thanks View Quote I wanted a capable cartridge in the ar15 platform that I could hunt with. When I started looking I knew I wanted bigger & better than a 556. I researched it & had decided on a SPC or a Grendel. Once I started looking for ammo & components I quickly found SPC more readily available. I wanted to get into reloading & around me trying to find 6.5 pills was near impossible. 277 was readily available as was factory loaded ammo. Even just the other day I was at Cabellas & there was 8 different kinds of SPC ammo. 2 different Grendel & 3 300blk's to choose from. & yeah yeah "G"brand now has Wolf ammo. I won't run that junk in my 9mm, let alone my hunting rig. Hey if people want to shoot that crap then go ahead, more power to them. It's just not for me. Sorry but I don't support Russian dictators no matter how cheap the ammo... |

before all the drama of my dogs better than yours starts, either 6.5 or 6.8 will be fine for missouri white tail . If you want a reliable functioning rifle then you need to use quality components . That usually fixes alot of issues right off the bat .
I dont own either cartridge but have seen limited results from other hunters and it appears that when the hunter does his job the deer and coyotes are dead no matter which cartridge they use . |
|
Best reason to get a 6.8 that I have would be you already have a .223, 300, 6.5, 458 but feel the huge need to diversify...

I'm building a 6.8 now...thought about it last year and ended up with 2 .300blks. Now doing the 6.8 for a new hunting rifle.

In 5.56 I have to choose between a 55 grain bullet at 3200 fps or a 77 grain bullet at 2750.
(out of a 20" barrel) With 6.8 I get both. An 85 grain bullet at 3150 fps (and larger diameter to boot!). (out of a 16" barrel) Or a 95 gr at 2850 Or a 110 gr at 2650 Or... Lots of ammo availability and variety of projectiles. Lots of components available for hand loading. Great performance. |

Yes very nice rigs....I do like the green one. Thanks all for the replies and thanks for not turning this into a 6.8 vs 6.5 debate this has been helpfull. It seems I read the 6.8 does well out of a 16" barrel, does that seem to be the preference? Also, how heavy do the bullets go up to? And.....if reloading, is brass it's own thing or is it a .223 with the neck opened up. I'm just full of questions. I appreciate everyone's time.

I have no reason to do so since it is a very good performer. But nice try trying to put words in my mouth. Only the fact that a single source of ammunition, which was was not even available at the time, would not impact my purchasing decision. I simply prefer to maintain that moral high-ground. I threw in a degrading comment about Wolf/Tula Ammo... & to the Country, & it's sociopathic dictator, from which it originates & to which the profits from those ammunition purchases support. The Fact is I stated 6.5 was one of my choices until I couldn't find a single component or a single bit of ammunition for it when, at the time, I was able to build my 6.8 from start to finish & have 100 rounds of ammo & was sending bullets downrange in 3wks. |

I am going to start hunting and decided to build a 6.8 at the beginning of the year. I was really impressed with the round and now have 3 6.8's. Ammo is readily available and you can buy hunting rounds at about $18 a box and plinking ammo at around $14 a box. There are some great 6.8 barrel makers like ARP, Bison Armory, and BHW that are priced right with proven accuracy. Check out 68forums.com, there is all the info you need on this site.

I'll have to agree, although I went the 6.5 Grendel route and couldn't be happier, if it's the 6.8 you are interested in you'll love it. I've not shot a 6.8 but from what I've read the performance inside it's range is very similar to the Grendel which means, by default, that it's an excellent caliber.
Since mines an evil 6.5 I'll forego the gun pron LOL. |

6.8 because it works great with a 16 inch barrel so it is a light for hunting
|
|
I have gone back and forth between the 6.5 and 6.8. From this thread, it seems the biggest advantage to the 6.8 is the availability of parts. Is there more to it than that? Also, which one is a better SBR and at what lengths? Hope this isn't too far of a thread drift.

Among Grendel SBR shooters, 10.5" seems to be typical barrel length. |

View Quote If you are not going to reload there are more readily available ammunition options in 6.8....i would also urge you to compare velocity and energy of factory ammunition between 6.5 and 6.8 spc II..... To get the most out of your 6.8 you will want to use spec II Ammunition like what Wilson Combat offers and many other manufacturers.... There can be a pretty significant difference in velocity/energy from regular to spc II Ammunition..... Compare the factory 6.5 ammunition to the 6.8 spc II Ammunition and make your own conclusion.... I have a 6.8 and I am just finishing a DI Six8 build..... I chose 6.8 because of more industry support, more readily available parts, more factory hunting ammunition and it's readily available, and it's as good if not superior under 300 yds depending on ammunition..... And frankly the difference is pretty marginal for many yards further but for me if I'm going to be shooting 400 yds plus I'm going to use something better suited for the job than either a 6.5 or 6.8... Right tool for the job.... Do your own comparisons because many on here try to sell their favorite cartridge for a variety of reasons and sometimes the most convincing arguments are actually bs..... |

There are many good reasons already posted but mine trumps them all:
The CDI factor! |
