Ever considered a 300 blackout? Excellent rifle for deer or piggies.

I did. Still looking at velocities and energy produced. Talk me into it.

300 blk looks like 125 gr bullet in 24"barrel produces (roughly) 2500fps

The 6.8 should push 2800 fps with 120 gr bullet.

The 6.5 2700 with the 120gr

That's impressive. Now I wouldn't use a 24" barrel, but still looking at 2500fps in 16" barrel with the 6.5 and 6.8. The 300 seems to be better suited for subsonic loads.
