The 6.8 SPC is also capable of outstanding accuracy and reliability.In our match-grade, Spec II chambered 16" barrels, the 6.8 SPC is capable of pushing a .277 caliber, 85-grain bullet to over 2900 FPS. 110-grain bullets easily achieve 2500 FPS with factory-loaded ammunition. Appropriate hand loading can achieve even higher velocities and enable the use of heavier projectiles up to 130 grains, which dramatically improves terminal ballistics over a 5.56 Nato/.223 Remington at long range. This added ballistic performance makes the 6.8 SPC perfect for home protection and SRT/SWAT teams. The 6.8 is a truly ideal hunting round for medium- to heavy-game and turns the AR into a serious hunting rifle.The 6.8 SPC will require a 6.8 caliber-specific bolt and magazine for reliable function.Specifications Chamber: 6.8 SPC II Feed Ramps: M4 Style Finish: Matte Bead-Blasted Stainless Gas Block Seat: .750" Diameter by .920" Length - Dimpled for Set Screw Gas System: Mid-Length Length: 16" Material: Stainless Steel, Type 416R, Barrel Grade Muzzle Threads: 5/8" x 24 Profile: Ranger Rifling: 1:11, Precision Button Rifling Weight: 27 oz.
