SBR upper for hunting

<< < (2/3) > >>

Les:
I'm fully aware of G&P 900 ft lbs requirement, I'm looking for real world experience hunting mostly deer, I do hunt coyote frequently and not sure if I'd ever travel down to hog country although the thought intrigues me.  Funny thing is before now I never would've considered ballistics like these calibers, always have looked for more speed as long as they were accurate. This SBR thing is captivating.  lol

The only one of those I have experience with is the 6.8, but not in an SBR. That said, my 6.8 is a laser and very effective on 4 deer and a coyote.

Anything adequate for a deer will work on hogs. I've used .308 and .30-30 (similar ballistics to .300Blk) on several with no problems, personally, I wouldn't use .223.

If you build it as a pistol with a Sig arm brace, it only has to make 400 foot pounds. My next build will be a 458 Socom, maybe as a pistol.

I've used a 12.5" 6.8 upper and a 10.5" 300 BLK.  I don't have either anymore, but both deaded the deer just fine.  I never got the opportunity to take a shot over 100 yards with them, though.

Les:
From the research I've done sounds like 6.8 would be the better bet with an existing 15 lower, however seems to be some gray area regarding the warranty for an omega in anything larger than 5.56 in an sbr.  It's rated for 5.56 down to 10.5" barrel but minimum length for .308 is 16".  Not really any documentation that I've found regarding the 6.8.  68forums have lots of info.
