The 6.8 SPC is an outstanding round, I had an AR-15 in that caliber for a while. Loaded with Nosler Partitions it kills whitetail deer like lightning and coyotes don't stand a chance. And the accuracy was amazing, the gun would easily out shoot my abilities, I would say in the right hands it could have easily been near bench gun accurate.
I kinda miss it sometimes...one of these days I might build another. What I would really like to see is Mossberg Chamber their Bolt Action Rifle(can't remember the model number but it uses standard AR mags), in the 6.8 SPC. I think it would make a very affordable nearly abuse proof first deer rifle for new or young hunters.
