Why 6.8spc?

[mstarling]

I have 5.56s, 6.8s and a 300/221 with a tp555 bbl.

I whole heartedly agree with the analysis that the whisper-like cartridges are intended for ranges of 150 yards or so, and that the 6.8 is a much better hunting cartridge than the 5.56.

When I decided to go with the 6.8 versus the Grendel ... it was because I have a nice Mauser in .264 Win Mag and seldom hunt beyond 300 yards with an AR. Was also concerned abt the potential of bolt failures with the Grendel (which HAVE been reported!).
