    hoyt shooter 16,

    This short, lightweight bullet was designed specifically for the 6.8 SPC cartridge from Remington. Silver State Armory is carrying a couple of different loads that feature this bullet in the 6.8 SPC cartridge.

    I shot a handful of these in a wildcat cartridge with a similar case capacity as the .270 Win. for a project and even though I achieved a super high velocity, the accuracy was mediocre. I attribute this to trying to use too much case capacity for that light bullet. Cleaning was a nuisance also since pushing this bullet that fast left quite a bit of copper in the grooves.

    I'd save them for a smaller cartridges case or skip the idea altogether.

    Best.
