6.8 fan here.
Got the Ruger "Ranch" in 6.8. Deer, pigs, 'yotes and 1 turkey. Love it!
At the time I got the Ruger, nobody made any more than a 5 round mag.
So I built an AR.
It's a shooting, killing dude!
A set of RCBS "SB" dies solve the ammo problem.
They are pretty simular. From what I read, the 6.5 really shines out beyond 300 yards.
I won't (don't?) shoot that far and the 6.8 totes the mail under 300.
I gave up suggesting "which is better" long ago.
Go with what suits your fancy.
I like the 6.8.
