Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady 6.8 SPC 120 gr SST Ammo for Sale
What grain bullet is best for 6.8 SPC?
For deer and hog hunting, 110-115 grain bullets are most popular, with Federal Fusion 115gr and Hornady 110gr V-MAX being common choices. The 120gr SST also performs well at moderate ranges. Lighter 90-100gr bullets suit varmints. Most hunters consider 110-115gr the best all-around option for 6.8 SPC.
What caliber is a 6.8 SPC equal to?
6.8 SPC isn't equal to a single traditional caliber, but it bridges the gap between 5.56 NATO and 7.62 NATO in power. Ballistically, it compares closest to the .250 Savage for hunting medium game like deer and hogs.
What is the effective range of 6.8 SPC?
6.8 SPC is effective to about 300 yards for hunting deer and hogs, where it retains adequate energy for clean kills. With quality ammunition and optics, precision shooters can stretch this to 500–600 yards, though energy drops significantly beyond 400 yards, limiting use on larger game.
What is the optimal barrel length for 6.8 SPC?
6.8 SPC was designed around 16" barrels, which remain optimal for most applications. 18" barrels offer marginal velocity gains that rarely justify the extra length. For hunting under 200 yards, 16" delivers excellent performance and handling, especially when running a suppressor.
What was 6.8 SPC designed for?
6.8 SPC was developed by US Army soldiers and Remington to improve terminal performance over 5.56 NATO, delivering 44% greater energy than 5.56 NATO in the M4 configuration at 100-300 meters. Hunters targeting deer and hogs later adopted it, as it remains compatible with AR-15 platforms.
What is the best 6.8 ammo for self defense?
6.8 SPC is highly versatile and excels in both hunting and home defense. Hornady SST and Federal Fusion loads perform well on soft targets and are strong choices for self-defense use. We carry both options in our marketplace. Standard overpenetration and noise considerations apply, as with any rifle cartridge.
