[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1631199, member: 101755"] Sir you seen right through me! I know I have a strong bias towards the 7.62x39! And that girls and boys is why I posted the thread. I'm hard headed as hell (as many here have seen, my EABCO 6.5x284 thread is a prime example). Because of that known element I wanted to seek the advice of those who know the benifits of the "other" cartridges. I'm like MudRunner, 6.5 Grendel to my core. I have already been digging around looking for a 16" SS heavy profile carbine length gas system before I even started this thread. I've had 7.62x39 AR's in the past still do. But it lacks the thump at longer range that I had been waiting from the AR platform. Then the Grendel comes along and I scrap almost all of my 5.56 rifles to convert them into Grendel's. I even scrapped a 7.62x39, but ended up buying the parts to build it back again. Then this deal comes along an throws a monkey wrench into.my world. I don't care too much for the ballistics of it so far, but the accuracy has my attention! The 6.8 will most likely ride the bench for a while. The 6.8 with the piston may be turned into a 6.5 Grendel. I have two more 6.8's so is not totally over for that round. But thank you sir for keeping honest! The hunt next week will be done with the 7.62x39, but I believe the Osprey 300BO will wear the can this fall once I get just a bit more HP out of it! I will post the load from the 6.8 tomorrow...I want to say the powder was 2200...27.5gr of it. The velocity was knocking on the door of 2700fps with 110 VMax....IIRC Keep it coming guys! I'm only hard headed...not brain dead! [/QUOTE]
