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.

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.
