6.8 SPC owners?

Traildigger....Plug away on the 6.8SPC, it's not that bad of a round, as long as you keep it within it's limits it will perform very well on deer sized game, hell, it will do on bears as long as you are mindful of it's abilities and use a good bullet.

For coyotes we found the 110 V-Max blows them all to hell. The Speer 90gr TNT went through without much expansion and several dogs were lost due to the bullet zipping right through. There are some newer bullets on the market from Hornady and Barnes that look promising but I simply did not have time to use them before I sold the 6.8's. 400 yards is doable but accuracy is the key and we never found the 6.8 to be great at those distances so we stayed with bolt guns for that purpose.

I now shoot a 6x45 and it has a hell of a following but again, it's limitations keep it from being a stellar round but it will kill deer all day under 300 yards just as the 6.8 will do.

Good luck with it, it's a nice round for the AR15 and if you put a brake on it, it will recoil like a 22LR. Just a bunch louder

 The Speer 90gr TNT went through without much expansion and several dogs were lost due to the bullet zipping right through.

FYI:  I was getting a lot of jams with the Speer 90gr TNT bullets.  Figured out that because the round was shorter, as the bolt started pushing the round out of my PRI mags, the extractor groove would catch on the "pillow" indent in the mag and the tip of the bullet would hang up on the feed ramp before it could chamber.  If loading 90s, load them long enough to fill the length of the magazine if you use PRI mags.  Never had a problem with the 100gr, 110, and 115grainers.  The bullet would start up the feed ramp before the brass groove got to the indent in the mag.

I just got a new 10 round PRI mag, and I notice the "pillow" indent doesn't go all the way to the top of the magazine now.
