6.8 Wildcat's??
 

Looking at the new Remington 6.8mm Sp. the military will be going to. Started me thinging..a dangerous proposition. Is there any source for selection of 6.8 mm bullets (.277) yet. If so, a 135g 6.8 mm might be the ticket. I love the properties of the 6.5x55, and shoot a .308. I have a Ruger VT in .243 I am not happy with and would like to build a really cool custom. SO, how about a 6.8-.08?(Close to a .260 with a bigger bullet) 6.8-06? 6.8x.284?(BR's use a 6.5 for 1000) I would think that with the BR shooters fans of the 6.5 for long range and lower recoil. and the .308 has inherent stability. I M thinking you would not gain much because the 7mm is very close. but the smaller diameter may lead to a better SD and BC than the 7mm and the 6.8 would be lighter than the .30 which you could get better velocities.

Maybe this would be the answer to the "magnumitus" going on in the gun industry. I think it would be a great wildcat.

I will sit back and watch the discussion.

Yeah, I just found out after looking through the reloading manuals...we already have one...the .270. Well, I thought it was a good idea, however someone already had it a few decades before I did.
