Are you looking for a powerful new round that can put game down quickly and can also be fired out of an AR platform? The 6.8 spc 120 grain round is what you’re looking for.
Watch GY6vids test this out impressive round out on ballistics gel and a pork shoulder. This rounds comes out of the barrel at 2500 fps, thus the results are totally impressive.
The grouping he got with this round was as impressive as the penetration on the ballistic gel. This 6.8 round went through a 20 inch gel and then another inch into the next gel which total 21 inches in penetration.
Combine that with the damage to the bone and meat of the pork shoulder and it’s a pretty safe bet the 6.8 spc would put down a deer or hog on the spot.
If you're looking to build a new hunting rifle, it seems the 6.8 might be a round to consider!
What about you, have you tried the 6.8 spc round? See the rest of the 6.8 spc footage here.
Sectional density.
But would it put down a pharmaceutically-enhanced jihadist?
No, because the 308 Winchester round works just fine
Who gives a flip about “penetrating power”?? The thing that matters is energy deposited in the target. If the intact bullet just zips through, it “might” do damage sufficient to kill, but might not, and that probably not quickly.
Can someone post a youtube link for those of us that are being web content filtered?
Thanks :)
it should have been the .284 instead of .277!
Both have the about the same power as a 30-30
30-30 ammo is easy to find and inexpensive
“It shoots through schools.”
The size and performance are not far from the Win .270.
