Title: 6.8mm AR 15
Post by: ducklab on December 23, 2011, 01:41:12 AM: I am thinking about building a AR platform 6.8mm and was just wondering all your thoughts on this round, and application. It will be my first AR build. Any suggestions, comments, and tips welcomed. Looking to use it as a versitile varmit rifle.

Only down fall is factory ammo is not cheap enough to plink with.

haha, I was all going for the 6.8 until I did that too. The distance and accuracy is just awesome.
