Great information .....BTW I spoke with my brother (the PJ) and they had not even heard of the 6.8 SPC yet. Thus the "in house" process of the procurment and testing is highly probable. BTW the round is almost an exact clone ballistically of the .270 JDJ Wildcat round that's been around for a few decades.

5th SFG has some good folks . I worked JTF 6 with some of those from ODA 591 for a bit in early 90's.

Thanks again Travis for the SHOT show report.......any new toys that stuck out this year ??

Stay safe !

I'm sorry to report I didn't get around much, 80% of the show I spent in the Accu-Shot booth fielding questions about the Accu-Shot monopod and my book. Blackhawk Industries had a humongous section with "rock concert" ladder frames to the ceiling and all over. They had more floor space than Remington or S&W. But I found out all their tactical gear is made in China, so all that "Freedom's Force!!!" hoo-ya kind of rings hollow.

We did have a string of fascinating folks visit our booth: Accu-Shot is a "better mousetrap" that just about all serious shooters are buying. Just a little 6oz, $68 gizmo that replaces and far outperforms your old sandback under the butt of your rifle....

One old fellow (no BS) is into 2 mile shooting with his own .408 wildcat. You had to be there. He says you need a table for the earth's coriollis effect.... No kidding, he was the real deal.

We also had CIA, IDF (a female major sniper leader no less), USSS, guys from foreign teams, SF, you name it. The little hand turned up-down micrometer in the back is the only way to go, it seems like. Chuck out that sandbag!

I didn't mention the 2 mile shooter to the USSS guys when they were in the booth. It might have given them heart attacks.
