[QUOTE="pdcrig, post: 1217255, member: 6358"] If you don't mind paying more for ammo, go with the 6.8. It's a great round and is becoming more popular. The only way the 6.5 has an advantage over the 6.8 is if you give it a longer barrel or want to use heavier bullets. If you took a 16in 6.8 with 100gr bullets and shot it against a 16in 6.5 with 100gr bullets the difference wouldn't be noticable. You can use 123 gr bullets in the 6.5 and up to 115 grainers in the 6.8. I'd go with the 6.8. I'm not sure the 6.5 is going to last unless Alexander Arms loosens up some of their licensing restrictions. What they've got isn't really that special. If you really want to reach out get a 7.62 Nato or a 300. Stay away from 7.62x39 and 5.45x39s. The AR mags aren't very reliable. Have fun bigthumper. [/QUOTE]
