looks real nice. how's the ammo situation for the 6.8?, is ssa still the major supplier of brass/loaded ammo? Yep, SSA is the Best for Brass, and Ammo. Hornady and Remington also Have both Brass and Ammo. SSA and Hornady have Small rifle Primers, Remington uses Large Rifle Primers. SSA has Lot's of loaded ammo for sale, ordered some a week ago, and got it 4 Day's later. |

Great looking rifle. What is the reasoning behind the different size primers from different brass makers? is one better than another? I don't know, SSA's older brass was large primer, then they changed, I have herd that the SSA brass is much better than the others, giving more reloads. I like the small primer's because I have more of them. 
Thanks for the complements. |

I have thought about a 6.8 and a 6.5 Grendal but the price of the ammo is what has kept me from it. Then again, reloading would be the way I would have to do it. I figure it is more of a hunting rd/defense rd so that might be a way to justify one. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=121&t=445512 Check that out if you want to hunt with a 6.8 
I already have the dies, I just need some more Brass and bullets
