Nicely done. I'm a 6.8 fan myself. Excellent hog round in an AR platform.

What more-common cartridge is the 6.8 similar to, ballistically?

The first buck was in Parker County opening weekend, I still haven't had him scored but the biologist at the processor guessed around 142", its the biggest I've ever shot so far

Nice work!
I have a 6.8 in an AR I really like a lot. Not a long range gun, but great for most areas of Texas.
Kind of an all around caliber for me also. Hogs, deer, coyotes, etc.
