my new xcr

Someone must had told him some Canadians had gotten in the show somehow
Possibly the LaRue boys
Took my newly converted 7.62X39 out Saturday, dumped 200 rounds down range, came to the conclusion that my eyes is too old for iron sights and I drink way to much coffee to be able to hold my hand steady to keep it under at 3" MOA with CZ surplus ammo that is same age as me. however I did manage to hit the paper plates 9 out of 10 times and the best part of it all is that is was less than $30 for the ammo 
Man, i can't decide on a 6.8 XCR or a 7.62x39 XCR...
Intended applications are :
1) fun plinking
2) CBQ matches (35m max)
3) Service rifle (500m max)
4) whitetail deer hunting
For 1) and 2), the x39 is perfect, 'cause ammo is cheap.
but for 3) and 4), 6.8spc is better, 'cause flatter trajectory (more speed + energy).
I sent my problem to the RA techs and they told me 6.8 is the way to go.
But getting 6.8 ammo and reloading component are really expensive and rare.
So my question is; can 7.62x39 be reloaded to obtain the same or better ballistics as the 6.8spc ?

Here's my XCR, bought right here on the EE, along with two Bowie's I forged, and of course my side-kick, Rocky The Wonder-dog."
I have a T-pod on order for it from Israel, and my XCR will shoot 1 moa groups with American Eagle ammo, and do it on the "S" gas setting.
the bipod in the picture , who makes them? and where can i get them ... correct me if im wrong but do they fold into a vert grip?
FAB T-POD. My (unfavourable) review: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286237&highlight=t-podthe bipod in the picture , who makes them? and where can i get them ... correct me if im wrong but do they fold into a vert grip?
You can get them all over the place- google "t-pod".
Try and find there "match grade trigger" and I promise you that the bullet group size will decrease big time! Also XCRmonger can you please ask the god's that design the XCR's to make us some fat barrel's because these x39 rounds sure heat up the barrel real quick. Other than that no complaints here.Took my newly converted 7.62X39 out Saturday, dumped 200 rounds down range, came to the conclusion that my eyes is too old for iron sights and I drink way to much coffee to be able to hold my hand steady to keep it under at 3" MOA with CZ surplus ammo that is same age as me. however I did manage to hit the paper plates 9 out of 10 times and the best part of it all is that is was less than $30 for the ammo
Also what do you guy's recomended to use for the setting on the gas block for shooting the x39 surplus?
