6.8 Question

Lucky_Lefty

I am building 2 rifles a 223 and a 6.8. Where can I find 6.8 dies? Also are the cases the same for 6.8 and 5.56? in the picture they look very similar. If not where can someone get reloading supplies? Last one, whats a good powder for 223 and 6.8 rounds?
thanks

Midsouth shooters supply has dies.

Two totally different cases and bullet dia.'s. Mags are not interchangeable. Uses standard .277 dia. bullets, the 110-115 gr being the most common for the AR type guns. Cases are expensive and in limited supply. The Hornady 110 gr. BTHP has a 2560 fps muzzle vel.

nononsense

Lucky_Lefty,

The two cases are completely dissimilar. The 6.8 SPC was derived from the .30 Remington parent case:
