I alternate between 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC. I have found both to be equal in performance according to my needs and application. Of course all the rifles are AR15 home build. Ammo is home rolled, both are loaded with Hornady SST bullets with 6.5 being 123gr and 6.8 being 120 gr. The suppressor is a YHM LT .30 cal.
Optics wise I'm using a Trijicon Hunter Mk III 35mm with an external battery source. I can hunt eight plus hours w/o battery issues.
Callers... I usually use two callers spread apart and about 50-75 yards from my truck. The hunting location, field of fire, and anticipated approach path all play a part in caller location. They are Fox Pro callers and can be activated independently of each other.
I almost always set up in the bed of my truck using the ring turret system that I've posted pics of many times. I also have camo netting that goes around the truck, I use it if I'm hunting just before dark or if the moon is out, like it was last night. The goal is to eliminate any reflection of light off the truck. That's especially important if I'm out in the field vs. pulled nose in to the trees. Sometimes getting under low hanging branches also helps hide most of the truck.
