A few downed with my 6.8, its a horrible round and if you have any 6.8 ammo send it to me and I'll dispose of it, LOL. I don't have pics of everything I've taken with it but these are a few, I've had the rifle for around a year or so and its great, I love the 6.8 and recommend it if you haven't tried it. Anyway, thought I would share a few pics, some I've had on here before. I just got back into hunting about 2 years ago after about 8 years out of it, I've been lucky with all that I've been able to take, hopefully it'll last from now on smile

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

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

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 smile

Bad info. MUCH better ballistics than a .30-30.

Most 6.8SPC rounds run out muzzle velocity at 2600-2800 pushing a 110gr to 120gr bullet. I'd say it's close to but not as fast as a .257 Roberts.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

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.

How you do anything,
is how you do everything.
