[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2960833, member: 19286"] I came to 6.8 as a hunting caliber a little backwards. When I built my 6.8 AR, I was looking for a carbine for SHTF/home/neighborhood defense. (Thank goodness it's never been needed for that role.) When choosing a caliber, I opted for 6.8 over 5.56 and others as it offered the secondary benefit of being a great mid-sized game caliber. I could also acquire a 6.8 barrel for my Contender. As stated above, had I sought to build a single-purpose deer hunting rifle, I would have gone to a bolt action and some different caliber. My only real complaint is the lack of 6.8 ammo on store shelves. I load off and on, but lately have been just buying factory 6.8 when I see good deals on it. That means that I have to order it in and have it shipped. Other than that, I love my 6.8 AR and could use it for any North American game that I'd realistically pursue. [/QUOTE]
