Why didn't they just convert them to the .308 Win?? If the SPC needs a new barrel and bolt, why not just throw a new mag in there and use a real round. I also think the .223 is doing the job most of the time, its just like deer hunting, bullet placement is key.

I believe the 2800 FPS MV given for the 6.8 may bewith a sporting-length, like 22" or even 24", barrel, NOT the short one on the military rifles. The figure of 2625 FPS sounds more realistic for the military weapons.
