Title: Shot my 6.8 spc ar for the first time today
Post by: NW-GSP on March 30, 2014, 09:26:43 PM: I was shooting 110gr Sierra pro hunter 6.8 spc

The recoil is not much different then 556, I think the accuracy is great for shooting factory rounds and it being my first outing with the gun(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F14%2F03%2F31%2Fary7e7yt.jpg&hash=a0a67d252595d7e7a6e4ecbeaf9a5ca1738304d4)

A rough measurement is a hair over half a inch

The military never adopted it, but the varmint hunters did! I have a 6.8 SPC, and like it, but when I built the 6mmX6.8 SPC, it really turned into a flat-shooting beast!

If I were to get another AR, the 6.8 is the only caliber I'd consider. I just can't convince myself to an AR! ;)
