Will 6.8 SPC ever take off?

[Wil-c]

I have complete Rock River 6.8 uppers and also some KT 6.8 barrels in-stock for custom builds.

Just take 1-10 west about 100 miles.

I may just take you up on that, I'm looking for an A1 or A2 chrome lined cut to 18", If you can trim a 20" down to that please let me know. Also want the 1/7 twist. This also in .223-5.56

Here is a graph comparing 5.56, 7.62 x .39, 6.8SPC, 7.62 x 51 and 6.5 Grendel. Unfortunately it compares 16" barrels, but it should give you an idea.

NATO

I don't think 6.8SPC will ever replace 5.56 as the standard infantry rifle cartridge.

I seriously doubt 6.8SPC will ever see much use in the US military, even in special operations units.

Two factors against 6.8SPC:

1. MK262 Mod 1 adoption
2. M110 SASS adoption

6.8SPC as far as civilian ownership? As long as there is reloading equipment, no cartridges will ever die.

Is that a reference to NATO having to adopt it too?

how does 6.5 grendel compare to .308? as far as long range 500-1000 yard precision shooting goes

I don't keep chrome lined 20" barrels around, but I have some 18" and 20" stainless barrels to build with.

That sounds like a possibility, I'll email you & we'll start there.

Thanks,
