The 6.8 Remington SPC was designed to give the AR-15 platform more energy than 5.56 while fitting a standard lower receiver, and Remington makes one of the few widely available FMJ practice loads for it. This listing is Remington UMC 6.8mm Remington SPC 115 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 24035 (Remington L68R2), sold as a 200 round case.
The 115 grain FMJ bullet is the original 6.8 SPC bullet weight. Remington rates this load at 2,625 fps with 1,760 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, a significant step up from typical 55 grain 223 loads. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this ammunition is best used for practice, zeroing, and training with your 6.8 rifle, while you keep a soft point or bonded load for hunting.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 6.8mm Remington SPC, including AR-15 rifles and pistols built with 6.8 SPC uppers or SPC II chambers, and the Ruger Mini-14 variant chambered in 6.8 SPC. 6.8 SPC uppers need their own magazines and bolt, so make sure your rifle is set up for the cartridge. A common question is whether 6.8 SPC is the same as the military 6.8x51mm or 6.8 Western. It is not. Those are different cartridges, so only use this ammo in a firearm marked 6.8 SPC or 6.8 Rem SPC. Another common question is whether SPC and SPC II chambers can both fire this load. Yes. SPC II is a chamber specification, and both fire standard 6.8 SPC ammunition.
Remington 24035 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive, so the brass is reloadable. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 6.8 SPC 115 grain FMJ.
