    Who owns a 6.8?

    I'd love to hear what you have for a 6.8 and see pics too!

    I am thinking of going for a 10.5 or 12.5 in 6.8!

    I have heard 1:10 or 1:11 twist rates.... which is best?

    Where are the best sources for decent priced ammo (until I get back into reloading at least!)?

    Do you use PRI mags or c-products and how reliable have they been?

    I haven't been able to find many posts here on the 6.8. If you have some saved in your favorites, could you post them please!!??

    Thanks guys!

    Jon

    I have a 16.1" 6.8 SPC Barrel with a 1:11" twist from Denny's Guns and it shots great. I am actually going out tomorrow to test out the 4 different Hornady rounds. I can shoot around 1MOA with the Hornady 110 Gr. TAP (V-Max). It appears the 1:11" twist is the best twist available for the 110 and 115 Gr. ammo. I have mine set up more for precision:



    As far as ammo, SSA makes some good ammo and if you are LEO or have an LEO friend, you can get the Hornady 6.8 TAP in either V-max or BTHP for $145 per 200 rounds, which includes shipping.

    You obviously didn't get Zumbo's message that those evil black rifles have no place in hunting.

    I have an LWRC 10.5" SRT and a Noveske barreled Stag 16". I also have a AAC M4-2000 in 6.8mm that I'm just waiting on the ATF to get my stamp back to me.

    That shorty is SWEET! How does it work? Any problems? What twist is it?

    Thanks!

    It runs great. No issues.

    It has an ERShaw barrel and I assume it is a 1:9.5, 6 groove barrel. As soon as someone comes out with a 1:10-11, 4 groove, chrome-lined, carbine length, 4150 chromemoly barrel I plan on switching out. It should let me shoot the SSA combat loads without worry of pressure issues. I have been told by LWRC and SSA that my gun would probably handle it as is because of the short barrel length, but I don't want to risk a pressure related failure in a NFA gun.

    I think I want a 6.8!! What is the lowest priced ammo a guy can get and where??

    I am getting set to complete my SBR and I think the 6.8 might be a real cool caliber to go with.

    I've taken 2 deer so far with my 6.8. it works like a champ. I have a 16.1 recon brl, from Noveske. Its a 1/10 twist and it will shoot MOA easy. Grant @ G&R built it for me.

    Old Noveske 10.5" 6.8



    New 11.5" MRP 6.8



    Stephen, you'll love the new can.
    I keep hearing about my gun rights, but I just can't seem to find them.
