Default RE: The theory behind the 6.8mm Remington SPC
ORIGINAL: doubleA

This cartridge was designed by the military and it's purpose was to give the M16 platform more stopping power than the 5.56 Nato. From what I gather, it's a simple conversion into a M16 and it's variants, has comparable ballistics and lethalityto the 308 Win/7.62 Nato with good accuracy.

When you look at the 308 Win and the 45ACP they dont offer stellar performance but are accepted by most.
Well you gathered wrong. It's not evenclose to a .308.....at all.

Also, the .308 is one of the absolute best rifle cartridges ever made. It's a fantastic performer.

Wow.
