The NSRA,
6.8mm Rem SPC is one of the few cartridges seen with cases made for small or large
primers depending on maker. Remington (left) and military loads use the large size; Hornady (right) and Silver State Armory brass use the small version
0.05” freebore and 1-10” rifling twist, 6.8 civilian users and gunsmiths have come up with a longer freebore (0.10”) and 1-11” twist rate ‘Spec II’ chamber that allows substantially higher (200 fps +) MVs to be produced within allowed pressures. Most gunsmith built rifles now use this specification, and there are a lot of 6.8 SPC enthusiasts in the USA having rifles built for the cartridge. There is a lively website and forum (
www.68forums.com) with 11,868 members, 7,556 threads and nearly 80,000 posts listed. Since the factory ballistics don’t seem that great, and the cartridge doesn’t apparently do anything better han heavy-bullet .223 Rem, you might wonder why it’s got so many fans. A major reason is that the larger calibre and ME that now runs at 1,765 ft/ lbs (more with handloads) take the AR15 beyond pest sized quarry into medium game territory. The cartridge can be loaded successfully with the many 130gn expanding bullets available for the .270WCF. Remington has picked up on this hence the rapid introduction of its .30 Remington AR cartridge last year for its R15 entry in the AR sector. But there’s more to it than this – the 6.8 seems to be one of these cartridges that works better than the ballistics tables suggest, has an intangible appeal to lots of people, and attracts development attention. We already have the Spec II chamber and barrel specifications, and no doubt there will be new bullets designed just for this cartridge if the enthusiasm continues. So far, I’ve only used Remington 115gn and Hornady 110gn OTM factory ammunition in mine while I wait on some 115gn Sierra MatchKings from Henry Krank for handloading, but the 6.8 is already growing on me despite these cartridges’ anaemic loadings. Reasonable accuracy out 300yd, especially from the Hornady fodder, very light recoil, exceptionally sweet extraction (a BIG issue with manual ARs), allied to such clean burning that fired cases look like new. This one could be a winner!
