Caliber Dictionary

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.

Based on the old 30 Remington case, the 6.8mm SPC (6.8mm Remington Special Purpose Cartridge) was developed in conjunction with Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and introduced by Remington in 2003 as a harder-hitting alternative to the 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge. Bullet diameter is .277-inch, same as the 270 Winchester, but the cartridge was developed to fit into the AR platform by switching out upper receivers, so shorter (lighter) bullets must be used. Standard is a 115-grain bullet at 2625 fps. Although the 6.8mm SPC has seen combat use in Southwest Asia with good results its wholesale adoption by the military seems unlikely. It has, however, found favor as a hunting cartridge in the AR platform; its many fans consider it an excellent deer cartridge out to perhaps 200 yards. — Craig Boddington

I found the customer service at Wholesale Hunter to be excellent. Very good pricing and good customer service made for an easy purchase. The products I ordered shipped out the very same day I ordered. The Hornady SST 120 grain ammo shoots excellent through my 6.8 rifle with a spec II barrel. I have shot out to 300 yards and the ammo is always MOA and sometimes sub MOA (shooting off a front tripod and rear bag. This ammo with the SPEC II barrel is what the 6.8 spc should have been in the first place. While deer hunting, I hit a deer near 90 yards away while shooting off my knee. The SST bullet was devastating as the deer went, maybe, 15 yards. I was almost shocked at the exit would, it was huge. I have also had the same experience using SST rounds in other calibers.

Didn't group well from my 18 6.8 barrel. After some testing I found 115 grain to be the magic number. Good quality ammo Like all other Hornady products. The 120 bullet weight isn't for my rifle and that's the reason I didn't give 5 stars.
