Next for AR-15: 6.8mm SPC or 6.5mm Grendel?
Just looking for opinions. I am going to add another caliber to my AR-15. The question to all is should I start with 6.8mm SPC or 6.5mm Grendel? I ultimately plan to have both, but which one first? It will be a DIY job either way.

I've wanted a Grendel upper for awhile. Need to pull the trigger on that purchase some day. I've had a Beowulf for several years now.

The 6.5 Grendel just looks so much better ballistically........
Both nice, though.

I'd do 6.5 Grendel. Been thinking about that one also as another build to do.

Both are very sexy but I like the 6.8 just a little bit better.

I decided on the 6.5mm Grendel. Ordered the 18" barrel.

Well it took 3 months for Alexander Arms to deliver the goods. And to be honest they sent the wrong barrel when they did get around to it. They sent a 24" barrel. I decided to stick with it since it would be better for long range, and I didn't feel like waiting another 3 months. I put it together last night. I just need to mount a scope and sight in. It looks great if I do say so myself.

How about .458 socom? nothing like a 400 grain slug to stop anything you'll find on this continent.
