[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3509225, member: 5412"] I keep looking at these new fangled whiz bang long range cartridges like the Creedmore, Grendel, Nosler, AI, and others in different calibers and compare them to the old 30-06 that sends a 165 grain down range at almost 3000 fps while cartridges like the Grendel are around 2500 fps with a 123 grain bullet. Every precision bullet manufacturer makes a .30 cal bullet just like they do the Grendel, PPC or whatever. I can understand the need for a short action so they can be utilized in the AR Platform which I'm fond of. Hence the reason the 6.8 is interesting to me. It's pushing the 165 grain bullet at speeds higher than the 30-06 in a short action. Now we are talking elk gun. [/QUOTE]
