[QUOTE="vooduchikn, post: 2962201, member: 24535"] Oh I don't know about that. Ask the boys in fighting in the Iraq and Afghanistan about shooting insurgents with 5.56 and then having then hear stories about watching them either run off/shoot back or both. Adrenaline is an amazing chemical and 5.56 non-expanding bullets don't help the cause much. As far as the comment on the big buck @ 250 yards, the 6.8SPCII will easily smoke a deer out past 300 yds with good shot placement and proper bullet selection; something required from all firearms when taking game. Hogs don't fare well either against 6.8, especially with a suppressor (supersonic ammo) and a 30 round magazine at range. I personally wasn't a fan until I built one for my father (16" Wilson combat match grade). The accuracy was sub-MOA, 5 shots measured out at .43 at 100 yards with factory Hornaday 110 SST ammo and that's with my sorry butt on the bench. It was still sub MOA at 200 yards. 6.8 SPC II also does very well from short barrels which is my next project, an 11.3" barrel. Is 6.8 SPC Optimum? No, but it easily fills the void between 5.56 and 7.62 in an AR pattern rifle. That being said, I own 5.56 and .300BLK and each has its purpose. [/QUOTE]
