6.8 SPC vs 6.5 Grendel

If you have data where you have tested the 6.8 and can disprove the claims post it. When you insinuate we are ignorant and you know better when we have actually designed the chamber and buttons for the barrels and spent thousands of hours building and testing you will get a response. You are on the outside looking in through a foggy window, in a year or two you will see the clear picture. As I said before we are in this for one reason, to get the best weapon for the troops.

Any bets Barnes releases a 85gr TSX to the public in a month or 2? The initial purchase to get Barnes to make the 85TSX was from SSA who loaded it for the FBI, now SSA is selling it and soon Barnes will offer it for public sale.
Every gun manufacturer in the country knows the BP is looking to purchase 10k rifles, they may have already.
And yes someone notified me of the thread and thought I should point out a few facts.
They really should have PMs here, but it's a nice forum.
I have had 3 6.5s,it's a great target and even a varmint/hunting round with 100gr Noslers but, IMO it just does not feed well enough FA to be a combat round.
To be honest a 6.8 isn't my choice as a elk or long range deer rifle either, I did it to prove a point. On hogs and deer in brushy areas 200yds and under is a different story,
sometimes a quick follow up shot is needed and the semi auto allows that. On top of that guys can buy 1 AR and use it for home defense and hunting.
 
Now if only we could find uppers for sale. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

I understand the whole buying panic thing but this is aggravating as [beeep]. Anyone got a 16" lightweight 6.8 upper laying around? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
It always amazes me how some of you take this all so personal. How this always has to turn into some polarizing thing. I can personally care less whether one or the other gets picked up for a combat cartridge - I just do not see either one being picked up - I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

I never insinuated any such thing - I said you were RECKLESS ! You are the one who continuosly brags about the high pressures you keep pushing through your rifles. You are the one that insinuates that it is OK. When some young idiot, who doesn't have crap for brains reads your posts and tries to duplicate your results - the possibilites of something going wrong is most definitely there. And think about this - a court of law could hold you liable. Just because it hasn't happened yet - doesn't mean it won't!

And what point would that be - that maybe you ARE reckless and have a complete disregard for the animals you hunt.

I don't believe that any more from you or Doc - after all - Doc has said himself that the ultimate assault cartridge would be a 7mm and wouldn't be based off the SPC at all. No, you are pushing this for either self glorification or self enrichment.

So do us all a favor here at PM - if you want to talk about military cartridge crap - go to barf.com, 68foreskin or any of those other forums. This is a hunting site. I have no problem with the 6.8. I think it is a viable small game cartridge - within limits. What I do have a problem with, is when people stretch those limits well beyond what it was designed for - just to prove a point.

I am done with this thread - I've got more important things to do.
