6.8mm Remington SPC

Uncommon card · No. 99547

The 6.8mm Remington Special Purpose Cartridge (6.8 SPC, 6.8 SPC II or 6.8×43mm) is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate rifle cartridge that was developed by Remington Arms in collaboration with members of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and United States Special Operations Command to possibly replace the 5.56 NATO cartridge in short barreled rifles (SBR) and carbines. Based on the .30 Remington cartridge, it is between the 5.56×45mm NATO and 7.62×51mm NATO in bore diameter. It uses the same 0.277 inch diameter bullet (usually not the same mass) as the .270 Winchester hunting cartridge.
