I’m leaning towards an 6.8 SPC right now. I’d like a hunting rifle in an AR platform. While I have shot one deer with a 5.56mm, the hole in and out was disgustingly small, after which I decided that I would never do that again.
So I was considering either the 6.5 creedmore or the 6.8 spc. Both appear to have similar ballistics, accuracy etc. So I’m going with the caliber that can get a few more grains of weight in the bullet.
Anybody’s thoughts?
I don’t believe the 6.5 Creedmore is available for the AR-15 platform and it a quite a bit more powerful than the 6.8 SPC. IMO the best performing cartridge for the AR-15 is the 6.5 Grendel. I harvested an antelope with my AR-15 at 353 yds with a 6.5 Grendel.
