[QUOTE="Brad Quarnberg, post: 2899940, member: 107866"] I built and SBR in 6.8 SPC and built a second upper for it with a 20" HBAR barrel that I've shot hogs with using factory Remington, as well as handloaded 110gr TSX and Accubonds. I also have a 3rd upper in 30 AR w/heavy 20" HBAR barrel, that I've used for coyote and hogs shooting factory 150gr SP, and handloaded 130gr TSX with great success. But the question as posed by others, what are you considering to be long range? These uppers are ones I use when I am hunting and know the chance of getting multi animals is highly likely and want quick second and third shots on other animals. Some of those shots are close while others are 300yards plus. given the dawn and dusk and other conditions for these types of animals/hunts, I haven't had a need to shoot past 300 yards, but I know the guns are capable of it since I practice longer distance. BTW, I have 5 and/or 10 round mags I use in these guns when hunting with them. All that said, when I hunt big game in the west, I always reach for one of my bolt guns because of their lighter weight.
