I am ready to build a new upper for one of my SBR's. I've done the 300 black out thing and still currently have 4. I own 6- 5.56 SBR's so that's covered. I've played around with 6.8's and lost interest really quick for some reason.

So I am wanting to build another upper and it will be surpressed. Should I go back down the 6.8 road or try the 6.5 Grendel in an SBR?

I am also up for suggestions if anyone has something in mind that has great accuracy and capable of taking game of various sizes out to 300-400 yards?

I would do a 12.5in 6.5 grendel.

I believe wolf makes steel case for plinking and of course, there's match ammo available. I would think it would pack a good punch at 3-400 yards.

Also, in b4 lrrp

6.5 is easy for me as I already reload for it, same can be said for 6.8.

I've considered making the jump to 6.8 or 6.5 for a little while. It just appears to me (from following trends) that 6.5 is the cartridge with the steam behind it. Haven't heard much in the realm of 6.8 lately

I wouldn't use it beyond 200 yards.

I used to have one.

Interesting story. I had gone to the range at night with a friend who was testing a customer's barrel before he sent it out. I tagged along with my 338 spectre and a mag full of 300gr matchkings.

We went on a really windy night and if you're in California then you know Fontana gets pretty bad. Just driving there was a chore. At some point I was flooring it but only going 65 on the freeway.

So there we are with the truck lighting up the range at around 10pm with no one around. Buddy sends a few rounds out at the 100 yard steel and can't hit it because of the wind. It was a 223 out of a 18" barrel if I remember correctly. He had the barrel in a scoped mgi quick change upper.

The spectre nailed it. Wind was not a factor. And that was with iron sights. And it rang that steel with authority. Even with the wind being loud.

I loved that round. You could fit more grainage of projectile weight in one mag than a mag full of 458 socom with 600 grain projectiles and it cost less per round than the socom to boot. I really wish I had started reloading sooner.

I've long since sold the upper. But it is a decision I regret having made.

.458 Socom. Ammo will probably be a bitch but there's a handgun length upper available on the EE for what I consider a good price(not mine, no affiliation with seller), the round packs some punch, and it should be fun.

Me, I'm just hoping IA legalizes SBRs this year so I can register my 12" .45-70 Contender and add a stock.
