Ok, OK, slight correction
http://shopwilsoncombat.com/68-SPC-110-g...-110-BTHP/
Not the 110 gr Accupoint, 110 Hornady BTHP.
Also note the the 20 inch barrel shoots faster than the 16 inch barrel, works the same for the 6.5G.
Handloads in my 20 inch 6.8, 95gx TTSX to 3000 fps with AA2200, but the BC isn't as good as the 110gr pills. Look up the BC of the 6.5 130gr Scirroco, I use .540 in my ballistic program, .540 ROCKS
Crunch the Numbers, I think you'll find the 6.8 loads won't bounce off the hide of a deer, if you can kill a deer at 300 yards with the Grendel, the 6.8 can do it too.
What load are you using to 400 yards? What barrel length? I'd need a 24 inch 6.8 barrel(I don't think I'd ever buy one,lol) to get to 3000 fps with the 6.8 with a 110 gr bullet, I like 20 inch tubes, although some day I'd like a 24 inch G.
