how many of you gentlemen own/use a 6.8 spc cartridge, AR clone?
I have the opportunity to swap a almost new 223 ar15 I own, with an 18" thin light weight barrel,
for an almost new 6.8 spc caliber AR clone, with a stainless varmint weight 20" barrel.
a friend purchased this 6.8 spc thinking it would be the ideal hog hunting rifle ,
but because he doesn't handload like I do, he's almost in panic mode as he has had a very hard time finding 6.8 spc ammo locally,
and he tells me he made a huge mistake, because he has on several occasions wanted to go out to shoot, and could not find ammo,
( Yeah I understand his concerns, yeah I'd agree with his assessment
it sucks if you can't buy ammo, and don't have the tools & knowledge to load your own ammo!)
I looked around and found everything I need to reload except empty brass in the first 20 minutes, looking online!
Im certain that brass is available someplace, in 100 cartridge boxes,
and Im rather intrigued at the deal, as I have a couple 223 ar clones but no 6.8 spc version yet
so other than the scarcity of that particular caliber ammo,
are there any downsides to the 6.8 AR clone?
yeah I know it requires magazines that are matched and won't feed from 223 mags
how does it work on hogs?
