A .277\/6.8mm-based round was recently named as the Department of Defense\u2019s heir apparent, but this new caliber\u2019s roots go even further back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early 2000\u2019s, a U.S. military-led study into bullet performance found that the 6.5-6.8mm range provided the best balance of aerodynamic performance, sectional density, bullet weight and overall ballistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This led the 5<sup>th<\/sup> Special Forces Group, working with Remington, to develop the 6.8 Special Purpose Cartridge, or SPC. So, how does this well-funded and heavily researched stackup to the 6.5 Creedmoor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-Creedmoor-vs-the-6.8-SPC_flat-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"GunBroker.com's Versus Series: 6.5 Creedmoor vs the 6.8 SPC\" class=\"wp-image-70501\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:400px\" srcset=\"\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-Creedmoor-vs-the-6.8-SPC_flat-800x533.jpg 800w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-Creedmoor-vs-the-6.8-SPC_flat-400x267.jpg 400w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-Creedmoor-vs-the-6.8-SPC_flat-200x133.jpg 200w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-Creedmoor-vs-the-6.8-SPC_flat-768x512.jpg 768w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-Creedmoor-vs-the-6.8-SPC_flat.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>GunBroker.com&#8217;s Versus Series: 6.5 Creedmoor vs the 6.8 SPC<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-this-corner-6-8-spc\"><br><strong>In This Corner: 6.8 SPC<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right out of the gate, the 6.8 SPC is hamstrung by the initial need for the cartridge to work in a standard AR-15 and magazine. This made sense at the time, as the military has millions of M4\/M16 platforms, so&nbsp; even the necessary barrel and boltface swap was a logistical nightmare. Add in new receivers and magazines and this becomes an exercise in futility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bullet weights are limited to the 85-110 grain range for use in an AR platform, although a few bolt action rifles are chambered in 6.8 SPC that can accept longer bullets up to 130 grains in weight.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.8-SPC-cartridge-gunbroker-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"6.8 SPC, 6.8 remington SPC\" class=\"wp-image-70500\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:400px;height:600px\" srcset=\"\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.8-SPC-cartridge-gunbroker-533x800.jpg 533w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.8-SPC-cartridge-gunbroker-267x400.jpg 267w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.8-SPC-cartridge-gunbroker-133x200.jpg 133w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.8-SPC-cartridge-gunbroker-768x1152.jpg 768w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.8-SPC-cartridge-gunbroker.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When compared to the 55-75 grain 5.56mm rounds currently in military service, that\u2019s an almost doubling in bullet weight (55 grains to 110 grains). The oddity, however, lies in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would think the parent case, a 30 Remington, would give greater capacity, but you would be mistaken. The longer 6.8mm\/.264-inch bullet seats deeper, cutting into that advantage. If you look at the 110-grain 6.8 SPC capacity, you see 27.5 grains max capacity. Compare that to the 69-grain 5.56mm load that is military standard and you\u2019ll find\u2026 27.5 grains max capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-advantage-of-the-6-8-spc\">What is the advantage of the 6.8 SPC?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 6.8 SPC allows for a bigger bullet and more terminal ballistics in AR15-sized rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/Ammunition\/search?Sort=0&amp;MinStartingBid=0.01&amp;MinPrice=0.01&amp;NoReserve=1&amp;Timeframe=5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" src=\"\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ammo-Auctions-Banner.gif\" alt=\"AMMO Auctions Banner\" class=\"wp-image-94154\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-this-corner-6-5-creedmoor\"><strong>In This Corner: 6.5 Creedmoor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bigger bullets (125-130 grains), more powder (49.5 grains) and similar external ballistics allow the 6.5 Creedmoor to bring a stout downrange thump. Still travelling supersonic well past 1,000 yards, the 6.5 Creedmoor maintains its accuracy far longer than competitors that hit the aerodynamic wall known as the speed of sound sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 6.5 Creedmoor is also a very versatile technical cartridge, with it\u2019s parent case being the ubiquitous .308 Winchester. This means a simple barrel swap and every .308 in the world can become a 6.5 Creedmoor.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-creedmoor-ammo-1007566961-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"6.5-creedmoor-ammo-1007566961\" class=\"wp-image-69767\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:400px\" srcset=\"\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-creedmoor-ammo-1007566961-800x533.jpg 800w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-creedmoor-ammo-1007566961-400x267.jpg 400w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-creedmoor-ammo-1007566961-200x133.jpg 200w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-creedmoor-ammo-1007566961-768x512.jpg 768w, \/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/6.5-creedmoor-ammo-1007566961.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>6.5 Creedmoor<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-verdict-6-5-creedmoor-wins\"><strong>The Verdict: 6.5 Creedmoor Wins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another walkover, the 6.5 Creedmoor dominates the data here. Heavier bullets, more powder, longer range, stronger downrange ballistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Creedmoor does take a few dings in that it\u2019s incompatible with standard AR-15 receivers, and necessitates an AR-10-size rifle. But beyond that, the 6.5 Creedmoor simply outworks the 6.8 SPC from point blank range to the 1,500 yard line and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If weightlifters live by the \u201cBigger, Stronger, Faster\u201d motto, then the 6.5 Creedmoor is ready for the Mr. Olympia competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay tuned to see what cartridge takes on the 6.5 Creedmoor in our next head-to-head battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons centered-btn is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size brand-style has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/Rifle-Ammunition\/search?Keywords=6.5%20Creedmoor&amp;Sort=13&amp;PageSize=96\" style=\"border-radius:6px;background-color:#ffcc33\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>BUY 6.5 CREEDMOOR<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size brand-style has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/Ammunition\/search?Keywords=6.8%20spc\" style=\"border-radius:6px;background-color:#ffcc33\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>BUY 6.8 SPC<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Related Articles: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/c\/article\/versus-series-the-6-5-creedmoor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Versus Series: In This Corner, the 6.5 Creedmoor<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Related Articles: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/c\/article\/6-5-creedmoor-vs-the-6-5-grendel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Versus Series: 6.5 Creedmoor vs the 6.5 Grendel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Related Articles:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/c\/podcast\/most-controversial-round-6-5-creedmoor-no-lowballers-podcast-episode-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Most Controversial Round: 6.5 Creedmoor | What Is It Good For | No Lowballers Podcast Episode 20<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 5th Special Forces Group, working with Remington, developed the 6.8 Special Purpose Cartridge, or SPC.
