Hey has anyone heard anything official on CZ offering the 6.8 in the 527?I was browsing Sellier & Bellot's Czech website and they are now loading 6.8SPC. I know CZ and S&B aren't linked at the hip, but it SEEMS odd that S&B would offer a Barnes triple shock loading if there wasn't going to be a commonly available hunting rifle for it's use in hunting in Europe(the S&B website specifically states that it is for hunting.)

Hunting in Europe????

I know you can still pay, pay, pay for trips to the UK, Scotland, but Europe?

I thought they stopped that.
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

No, but it is tightly regulated.

I just read this article that says the 6.5 Grendel is better than the 6.8 SPC. I've read other articles that also said it's better. I didn't think it was worth starting a new thread for. http://www.military.com/news/article/m4-round-has-strong-competitors.html?ESRC=army.nl

From what I have read, (no personal experience with either round) it is not so much a case of one round being "better" than the other,  But useful for different applications.
