    Good stuff guys!!

    So what magazines are you all using and what ammo? It looks like magazines will be a lot more expensive, but...

    PRI and C-Products. PRI will be good to go out of the box.

    Cproducts may be just fine, just make sure you do a functions check on the mag. If it doesn't work, call Larry and he will get you some that do work. Simple and $25 less than the PRI.


    For factory ammo, use SSA and Hornady.

    For reloading, you can't beat the SSA brass.
    I keep hearing about my gun rights, but I just can't seem to find them.

    I use SSA brass to reload ammo, and Barrett mags. They are the best mags I have found.

    I have one of Denny's 12.5" WOA SS barrels and it shoots very tight groups out to 100 yards. It can probably shoot better, but I am not the best shot. Also, I prefer the CP mags over the PRI mags for two reasons. One, I don't like shiny mags and two, the CP mags drop free whereas the PRI's don't. My CP mags functioned 100% out of the box as did the PRI's.

    I'm excited! It's my first suppressor.

    I have been using CProducts 6.8mm mags for almost a year now and they have been 100% reliable. I sold off all my PRI mags for the reasons that 'l2e' mentioned.

    Big fan of the 6.8spc. I use a PRI upper on a Colt lower. I've had 100% functioning. I have both PRI and CP mags and prefer CP. Both have fed reliably with no ftf. I use SSA and Hornady ammo. Heck...these days it cost less than comparable .243 or .308 factory ammo. Midway USA generally has a good selection/price for 6.8 ammo.

    Sorry, Zumbo...I took 6 deer in 6 shots with the 6.8spc this past season.
    Next season could be worse for the deer as my 12 y/o son has claimed rights to hunt with the 6.8

    I'd post a picture but don't know how. Good luck.

    I'm really thinking the 6.8 could work for Antelope too... but I think the range would need to be 200 or less probably. I use a 25-06 normally and shoot them at 3-400 yards... so... maybe I should stick to that. We'll see.

    I used my 10.5" 6.8 for deer eradication on my friend's tree nursury (we have a permit from the DNR). It dropped deer out to 225 yds, and it still fragmented.

    With a 16" I would feel comfortable shooting antelopes much further.
    I keep hearing about my gun rights, but I just can't seem to find them.
