A typical refrain for AR-inspired cartridges, the 6.8 SPC Ammo came about as a military venture. In the early days of the War On Terror, special operators were displeased

with the performance of the 5.56 NATO. Reports rolled in of Taliban fighters killing or wounding U.S. soldiers after being shot multiple times with the 5.56. Not good.

What was required was a cartridge that put the enemy down on the mean streets of the Middle East and kept him there. At the same tick, utilized the compact M4

platform, Honestly, not the easiest of tasks. The AR-15 family of arms was specifically designed around small-bore, high-velocity cartridges—initially the .223

in an AR-15.

For that reason, hunters have two mainstream choices for medium bore AR cartridges: 6.5 Grendel and the 6.8 Remington SPC. Both cartridges are solid performers

and there is quite a bit of overlap in their capabilities, but each also has different strengths and weaknesses.
