[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 4981443, member: 8364"] I would gladly hunt with a 6.8 SPC. Kissing cousin to the Grendel up to any reasonable hunting distance with a 16” or 18” barrel. Neither has enough power to be used ethically for deer beyond 350-400 yards, and even then it is really pushing it. But I ordered a Grendel upper recently and will be hunting with it. The deciding factor? Availability. I couldn’t find a 6.8 upper in stock anywhere for a reasonable price, but could find a Grendel. If you stick to 5.56, I have had acceptable results from 65 SGKs, but was a bit disappointed by the one deer that my daughter shot with the 62gr TSXs. I think that the lighter one may work better. At this point I would probably go with a Gold Dot or NAB if I was start from scratch. [/QUOTE]
