I have to go with the 6.5 Grendel for all around performance
300blk offers great suppression and sub-200Y range with the whisper rounds AND great long range performance with the blackout rounds. Much more versatile and a higher mag capacity than the 6.8, which I also find too snappy (like a .40 versus a .45).
7.62×51
They said AR-15.
Panther Arms LR308, Armalite AR10A4, Ruger 762, Daniel Defense DDM4V5…….
LR308=AR10, Armalite AR10.
Article asks for AR15 platform. You like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
6.5 Grendel – very under rated round but gaining popularity. Very versatile round for many situations.
Silly boys Grendel has a higher velocity from 80 yards out and does better with higher grain hunting bullets.
Grendel is great for long range out of an AR15 platform. However, in order to recognize the potential you need longer barrels. The 6.8 is a very efficient cartridge from 16″ and under barrel. High BC bullets are great for long range but under 400 yards, and defintely under 300 they don’t really make any appreciable difference and velocity trumps BS BC.

I think the 6.8 in an MSR is ideal for hog hunting – quick action in the 50 – 100 yard range. It would also make a very good home defense weapon and ammo is becoming almost mainstream.
OK kids, let’s get this party started.
My take: I like the 6.8 because I think it is an ideal round for hunting with an AR15 platform.
I doubt it it will ever see widespread military or LE adoption and you can’t find ammo everywhere for it. I reload and don’t see an issue with that and have a ton of great SSA brass which holds up to many reloads. It is a highly effective round on game out to 300 yards (can be used further of course but that is where I think it is ideal running a 200 yard zero)
