[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 9597, member: 547"] Participated in a T&E session with a 6.8SPC over the weekend. Due to its inclusion in an upcoming article(s), I can't name the rifle or ammo manufacturer. The rifle upper was very well made with excellent fit & finish, as one would expect. No malfunctions whatsoever, & recoil only slightly more than a 5.56 stuffed with 80s. However, the commercially loaded ammo left alot to be desired. It was some horribly fouling stuff, gritty in the locking lugs & barrel after shooting. Accuracy was disappointing too. The good news is that the ammo is only test ammo - they haven't settled on anything specific until they get results in from the field. It's very possible that the optimum powder vs. gas tube 'node' is yet to be determined. Now that we have a supply of brass & some dies are on the way, some sweet handloads should be on the horizon. Time & testing will tell. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
