Do you have any information on the Sig Sauer 6.8 round?

The 6.8 SPC has been around for a few years and has its fans.

A wildcatter came up with the .277 Wolverine, which is a resized .223/5.56 case containing the same bullets at the 6.8 SPC (basically lighter .270 bullets than are typically used in the .270 Win.

That conversion only requires a barrel change, where as the 6.8 SPC requires a new both and new magazines. (Making it a lot less attractive to civilian shooters with a lot of AR-15 parts lying around.)

No, sorry I'm not an ammo/ballistics guru.

If it's the 6.8 SPC II, then it's essentially a .270 Short

I've got one, it's GTG for the usual fodder and realistic hunting distances for deer and pigs.

There's always detractors and ignoramuses. d;^)
