I’m well aware of the higher pressure chambering of the SPC II. Is one able to shoot regular 6.8 SPC out of a rifle chambered in SPC II? I know that it’s a no go the other way around, but wanted to ask here as I haven’t been able to find anything on it. Sorry if it’s been discussed before and I glossed over it and thank you in advance!

pic for attention, piggies hate 6.8!

Definitely would put some glass on there though

I’ve been using my LWRC Six8 A5 for a couple of years on hogs and have had great success with some hand loads sporting a 120 grain CX pill. What does everyone use for varmints/rapidly fragmenting rounds? Thanks in advance!

As of a few weeks ago when using a credit card to purchase something at Academy, after that purchase is made, they force you to either elect to give your email address for an E-receipt, or accept a marketing contact agreement to get a paper receipt. If you opt for paper, they try to trick you into accepting direct contact marketing text messages. You have to uncheck some stupid box. God knows what is in the "Agreement" terms you sign in order to get your receipt.

This is in person pop-up ads, and as a Fudd, I can't stand it. Please do not give your business to the kind of people that treat their customers like this.

Use local FFLs, they're usually cheaper. Buy guns and ammo on line or at your LGS. Almost all of the outdoors, sports, and clothing goods Academy sells can be found cheaper or of better quality or both from online vendors. Exercise equipment, look on Marketplace or swap sites, its almost always available and cheaper.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Spotted this beauty on Bass Pro’s used firearms page—$1500 for an LWRC Six8 in great shape. I don’t need it, but I also need it. Seriously, someone grab it before I do something impulsive.

Has anyone tried loading the AP rounds from the 6.8x51 into 6.8 SPC? Projectiles look a little long so might need a 1:10 twist barrel to stabilize

14.5 Pin & weld with a mix of parts. Love ARP barrels.

Got a few pistol/ rifle upper kits online during sales, gave a buddy the 16” 556 barrel that came with this upper/rail for a 224 bolt face , ordered 16” fluted YHM barrel with components… BAM hooked on 6.8 especially slinging the Druid hill ammo at deer. Love it or hate it, didn’t cost much at all, dropped a deer at 110yds poa/poi. And another shoutout to druidhills, ammo is fantastic

Anyone here running. 277 Sig Fury rounds and if so, how are they??

Does the LWRC receiver require a special type of barrel extension or can I just order a standard AR15 aftermarket barrel?

No deer so far, but a bad day hunting beats any good day in the office!

With Federal Fusion 115 grain in 6.8 SPC being impossible to find, I have been looking for alternatives.

I didn't have much time at the range today (they were doing construction, but the workers told me to go ahead and shoot while they took a quick break), and it was a bit windy. Still, a quick range session is better than nothing. I put up 3 targets at 100 yards, and took one shot with each type of ammo for a total of 10 rounds of each, the purpose was to be as fair as possible as the barrel heated up.

These are the results at 100 yards, in my gun, with the wind and in a hurry. Federal Fusion 115 grain is still the best, and it's too bad they are not available anywhere.

One observation not captured in the pictures, is that the Federal Fusion 115 grain seemed to hold together better as the gun warmed up, while the Hornady SST and the Hornady V-MAX started to spread out more as the barrel warmed up. Not sure why.

I really hope Federal will produce another batch of the Fusion 115 for 6.8 SPC again soon.

Does anyone have any experience on deer with this bullet? My go-to stash of 115 Fusions is running low.

Anybody using the Winchester Deer Season rounds for deer yet? The ones with the oversized polymer tips on them? I'm about to try them out in Wisconsin, where I hunt all the shots are basically less than 150yds. Any good hits or misses with them?

Sorry for the silly question 😞 but I'm trying to figure out if I can shoot. 224 out of my 6.8. I keep seeing different things online

Has anyone had any great experiences with a suppressor and if so, what brand??

Man....prices went up on Druid Hill's website!! Wonder if it has to do with the election

So these are the Spc ii rounds I've been ordering. I also buy regular Spc rounds from local gun shops. Haven't been able to tell the difference. I've tried shooting through 1/4 steel but no luck. I cam pierce that with my .556

What's everyone's "go to" rounds?? I found a website that custom makes 6.8 spc ii rounds but don't know how to compared them

I took my 6.8 out hog hunting last night and was super impressed. I took two small hogs and one ran about 20 yards, the other was dead before it hit the ground. The exit wounds were significant, on the second hog borderline alarming. The guides I was with were like WTF are you shooting? I showed them my rifle and they loved it. I usually use an AR-10 in .308, which I love, but the lightweight and low recoil on the 6.8 is hard not to love.

Needless to say, my 6.8 just became my new favorite hunting rifle.

Anyone have this barrel? Looking at it for a MN shotgun zone deer pistol which should barely be under the 26” OAL rule.

Hello all! So I'm messing around with the idea of doing a 13.7" build with a 6.8 SPC barrel. I have an 18" SPR build that I have rung 1000 yard steel a few times with. And I have a couple friends with 16" inch guns that do 800-900 yards regularly. So I thought about a 13.7 for a nicer handy sized gun that can reach out and touch at long range easily.

What are y'all's thoughts

Wilson combat barrel, surefire 6.8K Muzzel break, Odin O2 rail, Razor G3 1-10X, ADM 1.93" Mount

Geissele 6.8 SBR hunting rig 12.5" AR Performance barrel Superlative Arms piston kit Trijicon Credo 1-8×28 DA Nomad 30 whisper pickle

Looking to build up a 6.8 bolt gun. I have the various Rem 700 short action parts I've collected over the years. Need a Rem 700 6.8 specific bolt.

Any leads?
