was talking to a friend and he was asking if the 6.8SPC is the same as the .270 Winchester...

anyone know? the paper shows it as a .270 caliber, but is that just the size of the bullet, or does that mean he can buy .270 ammo and shoot it through this AR?

thanks
joe

The projectile is a .277"... the case is short... You could almost call it a 270 short.. like a 22 short

another thing... there are 2 different chambers for 6.8spc..gotta hope you get the right one.

I only have a 270win.. 140gr Berger at 3000fps..
I have shot some 115gr SMKs out of my 270 and they are really fast and shoot good.

I want a 6.8 Upper, just maybe one day..
