I just get my new 6.8 SPC upper from LWRC and I am looking to buy some 6.8SPC ammo. Where can I get it? Thanks

Silver State Armory has the most offerings but you can check out outdoormarksman also they carry the hornady and remington loads. and you should also sign up with 68forums.com if you have not already, very good people there that have done independent tests on the 6.8 with great results.

Let me know what it costs and how good it is because I have a 6.8SPC barrel or my LMT MRP siting here and I haven't been able to find ammo

Why buy it if it is so difficult to find the ammo?

Sportsmanguide is another good place, you're lucky you got a LWRC how long did you have to wait for it?

Devildog it's not hard finding it, it's just expensive.

"Let me know what it costs and how good it is because I have a 6.8SPC barrel or my LMT MRP siting here and I haven't been able to find ammo"
I just figured by this statement that it was hard to find

recommend to reload for the 6.8 unless you don't shoot often.

Good choice on the LWRC. I bought an SRT in 6.8 last year. Took 6 months to get the upper. I got my ammo from Silver State. Dont try shooting any of their Extreme ammo. I had the primers pop out, so SSA replaced the ammo with ProHunter. The extreme rounds were designed for the barrett.

But it's not something you'll find at Walmart....

SSA is great ammo...

try there new 85gn TSX round... 3000 fps in the combat load flavor ;) 16" barrel

Just got my LWRC upper earlier this week...

ammo isnt hard to get, SSA is the best, and you can reload your own also

Not to you.
A couple of posts up Coldwar says he has 6.8 in stock all the time -- I heard people can't ship direct to individuals in L.A. anymore.
