Silver State Armory announced the production of three new 6.8 SPC loads: a plinking round, a tactical/law enforcement round and a specialized armor piercing round.
The tactical round uses an 85 grain Barnes TSX bullet travelling at 3070 fps from a 16” barrel. When fired into 10% ballistic gelatin, the bullet has an impressive wound cavity in the first eight inches, and penetrates a total of 17.38”. The recovered diameter of the bullet averaged 0.546”.
The plinking round was developed by Silver State Armory to provide an affordable solution for 6.8 enthusiasts to shoot their guns more often. Silver State said dealers will not be allowed to sell the plinking ammo for more than $48/box.
The last cartridge is the restricted armor piercing round. The 97 grain AP bullet has a tungsten carbide core that can penetrate more than 2” of steel. This cartridge is restricted in the USA to qualified government agencies.
