Hopefully this is the right area for this question. I haven't been able to find the info that I need anywhere so hopefully someone has a reasonable answer/source or can help me figure it out.
I'm looking to build an SBR (I have a stripped lower laying around so why not). I want to go with the 6.8 spc because it was specifically designed for a short barreled rifle and I want something that hits harder than .223. I want to make sure that whatever barrel length I go with will allow reasonable accuracy out to at least 400 yards. Ideally I would like to go with a 10.5" or 12.5" barrel because I would eventually like to strap a can on it and I don't want it to get to be too long. Anyone have experience with this cartridge and a short barrel? What kind of accuracty can you expect at that range with a solid setup? Purpose will be plinking/shtf. I have other rifles but this would be a go to truck gun if the lights go out which is why I want a short barrel, a suppressor and a larger cartridge. Thanks in advance for the input. Any help possible is appreciated.
