The cartridge is not banned in Ontario, the only regulation is below or south of the Severn river max caliber is.270 0r 6.858 mm now there are shotgun or muzzleloaders only areas as well!
just look it up in Regs.
You are wrong on your rivers because in Muskoka 53 and 53A you can use 270 and up Small game is .22 but deer and coyotes south of Severn can be hunted win max .270 .
You can not hunt small game grouse squrlles etc with anything bigger than .22 rim fire anywhere in province!
Read Ont Regs
I better read some of the regs online myself ,could not find the Severn River reg the regs the Ministry are a little hard to grasp now but one is new now there are a bunch of county's from Lambton to Niagara north to Peel Durham and east that allow small game to be taken with .275 if you know these areas you would scratch your heads!
Individuals should check!
But 6.8 is legal for any large game or wolves coyote or ground hogs coons at night 22 rim fire
Yup, best you read those regs!!!! They are confusing and what you can do is implied more often than it is stated. They tell you what you can't do although the published regs are an abridged version with the final word spelled out in legislation.
In any event, southern Ontario is defined as any area south of the French and Mattawa river. There is nothing in the regs that state you can't hunt small game with a caliber larger than .275" in northern Ontario but why anyone might do so is a different discussion. They do talk about big game open seasons and types of firearms to be used. You can bet that if you're hunting grouse waaay up north with ole Betsy .30-06 during moose season and you don't have a valid moose license, Mr Green Jeans will give you a hefty fine and probably confiscate your gun.
Anyhow, not trying to be a smart ass or mess with you. Indeed, I whole heartedly agree with your advice that anyone planning to hunt an area should read the regs. They are somewhat convoluted and have some notable exceptions and loopholes specific to particular WMUs.

Wellllll It is funny you ask due to the timing. We got 1 of the new Timney C.E. triggers in about 2 weeks ago and put it into our 6.5 Grendel chambered Modern Varmint rifle.
Brilliant is all I can say!! So far after just over 500 rounds, not a hiccup shooting the Hornady Custom or Black ammo. We had the gun out to the Milo PRS match this weekend and it proved to be a contender.
We will be ordering more of these triggers and will be offering them as yet 1 more option to the list.
