<p>The 6.8mm SPC <a href="/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)" title="Cartridge

performance of the <a href="/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm_NATO" title="5.56×45mm

Forces.<sup id="cite_ref-globalsecurity1_7-0" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-globalsecurity1-7">[7]</a></sup> The cartridge was the result of
the Enhanced Rifle Cartridge program. The 6.8 SPC (6.8×43mm) was initially
developed by MSG Steve Holland and Chris Murray, a United States Army Marksmanship
Unit gunsmith,<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-
8">[8]</a></sup> to offer superior downrange lethality over the 5.56 NATO/.223
Remington in an M16 pattern service rifle with minimal loss of magazine capacity
and a negligible increase in recoil.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup> The goal was to create a cartridge that would
bridge the gap between 5.56 mm and <a href="/wiki/7.62_mm" class="mw-redirect"
title="7.62 mm">7.62 mm</a>.</p>
<p>The program started the design by using a <a href="/wiki/.30_Remington"

into <a href="/wiki/Magazine_(firearms)" title="Magazine (firearms)">magazines</a>

case.</p>
<p>In general, adapting an AR-style rifle to the new cartridge only requires the
replacement of the barrel, bolt, magazine & muzzle device (if applicable) of
the 5.56 mm-chambered rifle; but to further streamline and simplify the
conversion process many parts manufacturers sell complete upper receiver assemblies
chambered for 6.8 SPC alongside their conversion kits focusing on the key
individual parts. While a complete 6.8 SPC assembly is a somewhat more expensive
route, the conversion of an existing 5.56 mm/.223 rifle to 6.8 SPC using a
complete upper assembly takes less than a minute on an AR-style rifle without the
need for specialized tools or skills. In contrast, when swapping out the individual
component parts, a significant level of gunsmithing experience, special tools, and
time are generally required to detach the barrel from the rifle's upper receiver
and the gas system, and conversely those same needs are required for the reassembly
of the upper receiver with the new 6.8 SPC barrel. Also, there is the issue of
having to readjust the sights if a new barrel is placed on an existing upper
receiver.</p>
<p>The 6.8mm Remington SPC was designed to perform better in short barreled <a
href="/wiki/Close_Quarters_Battle" class="mw-redirect" title="Close Quarters
Battle">CQB</a> rifles after diminished performance from the 5.56 NATO when the
M16A2 was changed from the rifle configuration to the current <a
href="/wiki/M4_carbine" title="M4 carbine">M4 carbine</a>. The 6.8 SPC delivers 44%
more energy than the 5.56mm NATO (M4 configuration) at 100–300 metres (330–
980 ft). The 6.8 mm SPC is not the ballistic equal of the 7.62×51mm NATO
cartridge, but it has less recoil, has been said to be more controllable in rapid
fire, and is lighter, allowing operators to carry more ammunition than would
otherwise be possible with the larger caliber round. The 6.8 mm generates
around 2,385 J (1,759 ft⋅lbf) of muzzle energy with a 7.5-gram
(115 gr) bullet. In comparison, the 5.56×45mm round (which the 6.8 is designed
to replace) generates around 1,796 J (1,325 ft⋅lbf) with a 4.0 g
(62 gr) bullet, giving the 6.8 mm a terminal ballistic advantage over the
5.56 mm of 588 J (434 ft⋅lbf). One of the enigmatic features of this
cartridge is its being designed for a short barrel carbine length rifle than the
standard rifle length is (usually 41 cm (16 in)). The round only gains
about 7.6–10.7 m/s (25–35 ft/s) for every 25 mm of barrel length
past the standard 410-millimetre (16 in) barrel (all else being equal) up to
barrel's length around 560–610 mm (22–24 in) with no gain/loss in
accuracy. It also does very well in rifles with less than 410 mm (16 in)
barrels. In recent developments (the period 2008-2012) the performance of the 6.8
SPC has been increased by approximately 61 to 91 m/s (200 to 300 ft/s) by
the work of one ammunition manufacturer Silver State Armory LLC (SSA) and a few
custom rifle builders using/designing the correct chamber and barrel
specifications. The 6.8mm Remington SPC cartridge weighs depending on the
manufacturer and load between 16.8 and 17.6 grams (259 and 272 gr). Also, more
recently, <a href="/wiki/LWRC" class="mw-redirect" title="LWRC">LWRC</a>, <a

<p>When the <a href="/wiki/LWRC" class="mw-redirect" title="LWRC">LWRC</a> <a
href="/wiki/LWRC_M6#Six8" title="LWRC M6">Six8</a> was being developed, <a
href="/wiki/Alliant_Techsystems" title="Alliant Techsystems">Alliant
Techsystems</a> was contracted to develop a new 6.8×43mm round for the weapon.
Unlike smaller commercial firms, ATK is a large ammunition supplier that delivers
products for the U.S. Army, so it had large resources and manufacturing
capabilities at its disposal. Commercial cartridges varied in case capacity and
thickness, but LWRC wanted a thick and durable case for military uses. A 90 gr
(5.8 g) load was developed specifically for a high muzzle velocity and low
felt recoil from the Six8's 8.5 in (220 mm) barrel. Effective range would
be over 300 yd (274 m) and the bullet would still have enough energy to
penetrate intermediate barriers. Three 90 gr loads were constructed for testing
that included Gold Dot, Monolithic Hollow Point, and FMJ. The Gold Dot bullet was
selected with a .035 in (0.89 mm) jacket and a bonded core. The
propellant was designed for reduced muzzle flash stable performance at temperatures
between -29.2 to 125.6 degrees F. Muzzle velocity averaged at a 200 ft/s
(61 m/s) difference at the required temperature extremes from the 8.5 in
barrel. From a 24 in (610 mm) barrel, the round produced a group of
1.56 in (40 mm) at 200 yd (183 m).<sup id="cite_ref-18"

an 80° neck to freebore cone angle, which was a result of a mistake in the reamer
drawing submitted, and was never corrected by the reamer maker or Remington during
the process of tooling up for the testing protocols that eventually drove the SAAMI
submission.</li>
<li>SPC II is current standard chamber used by most barrel manufactures. It has

<p>Several twist rates are available for 6.8 SPC barrels. The slowest twist rates
are approximately 1:12", while twist rates between 1:9.5" and 1:11" are common. The
de facto standard twist rate for 6.8 SPC is currently 1:11". Bison Armory employs a
twist rate of 1:7" in some of their 16" and shorter barrels in order to stabilize
180 to 200 grain bullets for subsonic performance similar to the 300 AAC
