My question is the following.  I am looking to SBR a lower for a 6.8 upper running an 11.5 inch barrel.  I understand that shorter barrels affect the terminal ballistics, but will the effect be to the point that it is not worth the shorter barrel.  Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have a 10.5" 6.8 piston upper from LWRC that I LOVE.  I think if I do another SBR in 6.8 SPC, the best compromise between ballistics and short length is 12.5".....but that's based on what I've read here, not any first hand experience.

HTH,

6.8 was made for shorter barrels...
