I take your opinion seriously. And of course, accept your apology.
Will a 6.8 perform "better" than a .223? Certainly it should, delivering a heavier bullet at a good (although sometimes over-reported) velocity. That's just physics.
The question for me (and I assume others) is: If the 6.8 is far superior to my .223, should I sell my 223 and buy a 6.8. Well, no. I like the .223, and have other rifles if I need something else, and Im not wedded to the AR as a hunting firearm. Sights are too high up off the barrel. The .223 v 6.8 begs comparison because the platform popular for both rounds, the AR. And ARs figured prominently in the discussion as a main reason for choosing the 6.8.
The predominate argument from the 6.8ers seems to be that it's a better performer IN AN AR. OK, I agree in somem ways, it's better. In some ways, it's a lot worse...varmint hunting, for example.
Thus endeth my discussion on the 6.8.
And if anyone thinks my Ranger tab is fake, I invite that person to come remove it from my tattooed back.
