[QUOTE="CJ, post: 9605, member: 2965"] 5.56 does not rely on expansion for its terminal effectiveness. It fragments violently. If you want to know more, go to {url]Ammo-Oracle.com[/url] for the most complete 5.56 database I have ever seen. 6.8 is more of the same. It has a trajectory that mimics that of 5.56 77gr OTM (Nosler) and 7.62 ball, to approx. 600m. It fragments at short range, and still hits pretty hard if it doesnt fragment. FWIW, reports are some Federal game wardens (this is how they were identified to me. Possibly Park Rangers of USDA?) have been using 6.8 to cull deer for some time and are extrememly happy with it. Rifles to be produced by Barrett. Kits from Model 1 Sales. Uppers are available from MSTN.biz and others. The CZ 527 will be chambered in this round by early next year. Ammo is 115 OTM, 115 FMJ, or 110 HP. Ammo is scarce at the moment, all of it from Remington has been purchased by SOCOM and is headed for the Gulf. Cases are available from Remington. Case head is the same as 10mm or .40 Smith. Its based on the .30 Remington. Barrett signed a multi million dollar deal with American Ammunition to make 6.8 for the public, until Remington can make enought to keep up with demand. [/QUOTE]
