6.8 Remington
I have noticed this caliber recently. Today at the gun show I saw a Barrett AR15 type chambered in this round. There is a topic over in Experts on this round. Below is a c&p of some ballistics from that post. I am looking at a 110 grain bullet with a MV of 2550fps. Is that a misprint or is that round that much of a slug? Where is the impressiviness here? Am I missing something?

were you at the show in puyallup?
First time I went since last year. I ran into a few friends there. Dug through several tackle boxes looking for a front sight for a Winchester rifle. Bought a 100lb box of ammo. well maybe not 100lbs but it felt like it by the time I got it to my truck.
Almost bought a Hakim.0 -
MVP, yep Puyallup. We bum the guy's hand truck to haul ammo out. Bought a 1000 case of 7.62X39 and a 250 case of 12ga OO buck. 0
