JLG Report post Posted May 22, 2013 Anybody have any experiance with this caliber in an AR-15 platform. It seems it would be a cool pig/deer rifle out to 300 yards or so. I think a 24" barrel would be very accurate, Take Care, JLG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IA Born Report post Posted May 22, 2013 My brother in law in Laredo, TX has a Ruger Mini-6.8 and loves it for hogs down there. I don't know if he's shot any deer with hit, but he's dropped some hogs. Can't imagine it wouldn't be just as good in an AR platform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 Have you looked at the 6.5 Grendel? Now thats a sweet setup for the AR platform. Better velocity, b.c. and sectional densities than the 6.8. I have a buddy that shot a coues last year at 500 yards with the 123 Amax and it dropped like a wet turd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayno945 Report post Posted May 23, 2013 There are also several wildcats based on the 6.8 case. I'm really interested in the 25 DTI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benbrown Report post Posted May 23, 2013 My nephew's nine-year old boy has taken white-tailed deer (including some big bucks in south Texas) and exotics up the size of kudu using a Daniel Defense rifle in 6.8 spc. I think that his kudu bull was about 175 yards, but I know that he has shot a couple of big deer out to almost 300. All of the ones that I know about were one-shot kills. Oh, yeah, and he has killed about half a dozen hogs--one was pushing 300 lbs live weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLG Report post Posted May 23, 2013 I could see this round being awesome on P-Dogs, up in Seligman when the wind kicks up. JLG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
