Got it, thanks, John. I wasn't aware of that. I obviously need to educate myself a little more before getting into 300 BLK.

Thank you all for your posts.
C-grunt,sir,I'd like hear your thougts please,on better offerings than the .308?
Failure2Stop,sir,on the post that your beating guys with 5.56 in two gun matches,do you think your a better shot than them or do you think it's the .308 platform your using?
Apologies, didn't mean my comment to read as a humblebrag.
I'm a good Indian with a good bow and a quiver of good arrows.
My point was not so much about the gun being better than anything else, rather that the performance difference as far as maneuverability is concerned is less than many believe.
Personally broke it down for my own rifles/uses as:
0-200 yards - 5.56/.223 general purpose
0-400 yards - 6.8 SPC hunting, general purpose
100-600 yards - .308/7.62 longer range shooting, hunting
I have a great fondness for all three calibers (still new to the 6.8 as well), and am in no way trying to imply that these are their only ranges and/or capabilities, just my own personal views and setups for them and their uses for me alone.
