    Default Couple 6.8 questions.

    I've got a short amount of time to work a deal on a pile of 270 140 gr BTSP . I'm thinking on a 6.8 AR. I'll be wearing the search feature out, but if someone wants to give me the cliff notes on barrel twist I would want, mag choices, and brass supplies, I'd be grateful.

    Ok I've learned the best mag choices, just not much on availability, same for brass. Still no found info on the preferred twist for 140 gr.

    Faster twists will stabilize the heavier bullets. How fast of a twist? I have no clue.

    How far are you going to shoot? That also plays in to the equation.

    I'm thinking it would be a rare day indeed when I shoot over 400. 200 and under would honestly be more likely.

    My 6.8 is a Stag upper with a 1/11 twist and a 20" barrel. Brass is scarce. Remington new brass isn't to bad $$ wise if you can find it. Once fired is a bear to find, and if you do find it don't hesitate. Just buy it. I waited 5 min on one deal and lost out.

    Silly questions here.... you are asking .270 questions for a 6.8.... Same round like .223/5.56?

    Can I used .270 ammo in the 6.8??? I know, I know. But I could only learn so much in a few weeks before all this AWB buzzzz

    No, he's trading or trying to work a deal for 6.8SPC. 270 and 6.8 different animals.
