This 6.8/.277 BC thing gets so old.
It came about back when people were using the 85gr and 90gr bullets in the early days of the 6.8
The BC is not that different from a .223
It really is kind of a non factor until past 500 yards.
The 6.8 stays right there to 800 and 1000.
Past the legs of the .223 across the board.
Mark will have to comment on the Wlv range.
That said there is a guy at my local range that single loads 80gr and 90gr .223 loaded to 5.56 pressures and shoots 1000 yards with a 20in barrel.
Its his thing.
The OP just has to decide his.

Actually for the difference in bore you would have to compare it to the 110 TSX at .323
But really your confirming what I said.
Nobody on the 6.8 Forum talks much about that bullet anymore.
The focus not is not on the shorter bullets because now there are so many better bullets built specfically for the 6.8 and its speeds.
Before all the industry support folks had to use .270 varmint bullets, now there is 6.8 specfic bullets and newer powders.
The real long distance focus now is on the 130's
Xman has a 130gr running 2625, a 120SST @ 2740 and for hunting to 400yd a 100 Accubond @ 3075
Loading long with cut front mags and slower than usual powders.
But that not something I would recommend to the OP.
