I love the 6.8 for hunting but if you need a SHTF I would go with 5.56/223 or 308. If your needing the range and knock down 308. If you want to send more lead down range and lighter weight 5.56/223. All in all you need the hone shooting skills there is good and bad with both. You Can get better ammo in 5.56 and really do some damage. I don't have a 308 yet but I will in a bolt but maybe a AR10 if the right deal comes along. I have always liked the 308. I have a 5.56 that is 5 lbs but if I had to leave a gun behind I would take my Heavy barrel. All a matter of personal preference.

Chicken or the egg! I have a .223 & a 6.5 Grendel. I prefer my 6.5 but will use the .223. if you practice alot and practice good shot placement at the time of release they will all do a good job.

My advice is to start with an AR 15 platform in .223 just for easy of use and ammo cost. If you want to upgrade, get a custom upper in 6.5 or 300. 243 WSSM is also a great round with great penetration on pigs. A 55 grain .223 is around 3,250 fps where as a 55 grain .243 WSSM is around 4,000 and a 95 grain .243 WSSM is around 3,250 fps. Really hot round.

Or a AR15 in 204 with a 32 grain bullet at over 4200fps and long lasting barrel life it's a sweet set up.

Assemble something along these lines...with the addition of a Noveske flaming pig maybe?
