I went to the Remington site and see they chamber a M700 and a couple 7s in it. and load two types of 115 gr. load for it. Often how a cartridge dose in sales depends on how and when it is introduced.
With all the news about the end of the Win. 94 erra, Rem. would be smart to bring out a new lever gun in this "new" cartridge. Step into the lever 30/30 market with a lever 6.8mm SPC. A new name might be a good idea. A .270 cal brought out in 2006. No a 27/06 would not work.
What would yoou rename this round?

a new name is an idea maybe not a good one though... 6.8mm SPC is already a remington designation for the caliber also I'd hate to see the
.280 rem / 7mm rem express confusion happen all over again with 2 designations and one caliber.
but if they did need a new name I think
.277 Remington would fit nicely.
