Well, i know 6.8 does.<br /><br />We need to get him to buy a cheap .223 upper and a .22 conversion, so he can actually afford to shoot with us.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208603805247940818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942427848036063936.post-36394497522624903792009-05-16T08:18:00.000-07:002009-05-16T08:18:00.000-07:00Corrections have been made.

Reloading brings it down to about the cost of loading .308win match rounds (with expensive IMR 4064 powder and Sierra MatchKing bullets). The 6.5mm Grendel looks more impressive on paper. It flies flatter for longer ranges, so I hear.

I'm sure the AXR wouldn't have as much penetration if it were shooting M193 or .223. I would be sold on 6.8 if rounds weren't one dollar a piece. Breaking that disc cost Nathan three bucks!Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208603805247940818noreply@blogger.com
