I finally got off my butt and took my new ( 6 months ago )6.8 out to see what it would do. I loaded 5 rounds each with 4 different bullets. All were seated at 2.300 and shot through a magazine.
The specs of the gun are:
20" BHW 6.8 SPC II barrel with a rifle length gas.
DPMS smooth sided upper
BTE adjustable gas block
R Guns nickel boron BCG
4.5 X 14 Mueller APV
All 4 groups were shot using Benchmark powder. I used data from the Hodgdon load manual. The first group was a disaster. The barrel did not like this combination. 110 gr Hornady Vmax.
The second target was better and showed me some promise. There are 3 bullets in the center hole. The bullet was a Sierra 115 gr Matchking.
Next up was the 90 gr Speer TnT. This one had me smiling until the 5th shot> I guess I just couldn't handel the strain. $hit I pulled it. I hate it when I do that. Another good group down the drain.
And last was the Sierra 90 gr Varmint. This one made me smile. This barrel is going to be a shooter!!!!!!!! this group measures .464
