Any 6.8 SPC Shooters

[RangeHound]

Anyone on the forum have any experience with the 6.8 SPC. I was considering one for hog hunting and up to 300 yard target shooting. The attraction is being able to use my AR15 lower and just purchase the upper and magazine. Looking the Bison Armory and AR Performance 18" barrel.

I have been reading the 68Forum, but would like to hear from someone on this forum.

Comments and feedback would be appreciated.

I've never shot a 6.8 but I have a 6.5 Grendel and absolutely love it. Have you considered the Grendel option?

I recently picked up a complete Rock River Arms LAR-6. I haven't really had a good oppurtunity to ring it out yet, but it does seem like the 6.8 is a capable round. It seems like the 6.8 round is a little scarce right now to find locally but it is out there. I have no experience with Bison Armory weapons/parts, but everything I have read about it has been good.

I shoot the 6.8 Rem SPC in a 23" Contender Carbine and its quite capable for deer sized game. I have taken two Antelope and two Whitetails and 3 were DRT and one ran about 40 yards. I have been using Silver States Armory ammo, I believe they are 115 grain with Barnes X Bullets.
Also have a late model Mini 14 in 6.8 and it will shoot around 1.5 MOA with my handloads. Haven't hunted with the Mini yet.

I still like the 6.5 Grendel better or the 6.5x47 Lapua or the 6.5 Creedmoor, but I'm a 6.5mm fan 85gr in .270 just sounds too light to me.Obviously it kills deer, though.It is very best Grendel and absolutely love it.

I shoot a ton of 6.8 and you'll be very happy with one of Harrison's ARP barrels or uppers. Same with Bison. Harrison has been on the cutting edge of developing the 6.8 from the putzy SAMMI specs to what is is now.
Check out http://68forums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=59 for tons of info on what the 6.8 is capable of.

6.8 is a solid round - ammo still hasn't made it everywhere yet, but I know we move a pretty good amount of it through our shop.

You'll be happy with it's performance, especially vs hogs
