You know Remington is building a 30RAR? It is a 450 bushmaster necked down to 30 cal. they say it will push a 125gr bullet to 2800 fps from a 22" barrel. I think a 22" 6.8 will push a 120gr Barnes pretty lose to that.
If someone were to bring out a factory loaded 6.5 that matched the velocities of the 260 Remington but in a AR15 platform could it be a successful cartridge? What about a .338 that would push a 200gr bullet to 2600fps from a 20" barrel?
Just thinking the 6.5 could be a tactical cartridge as well as a flat shooter for deer or antelope, the .338 could be for heavier deer, bear, elk or hog slammin.
Please take a minute and tell me what you think, with the democrats in control making the AR a hunting rifle may be a good idea, If we show it is commonly used for hunting then it may be more difficult to ban or control.
Which caliber makes more sense or would both make it?
