Thinking of getting into the 6.8.
I have a dedicated colt ar now in 5.56. Is it as easy as just a complete upper swap or is there more to it? |

Thanks. Of course I was just looking and no one seems to have any 6.8 loading components. Brass comes up regularly in the EE. Bullets you can find anywhere, Grafs has a shitload. Mid South Shooters Supply and Midway both have CCI 400 primers in stock. Powder will be your sticking point, but if you search a bit I bet you could find some H335, 8208, or 4895 somewhere. |

LWRC sells once fired Federal brass SSA sells new brass direct from their site AA2200 is the current most popular powder, and hard to find. Rel 7 for lighter projectiles, H4198 is also very good H322 was the most popular powder for heavier bullets prior to AA2200 |

Yep, upper and mags, but where's the fun in that? More reason to build up an extra lower! YHM with SLR forearm and diamond flute barrel, Phantom QD for suppressor. Added a Magpul UBR stock since these photos.

Power Pro 1200-r was starting to be tested & the panic hit. For the 140gr Berger, (?). The 68forum has allot of the latest info. With many mags & a SPC II or equivalent (6.8 ARP, Noveske Mod 1) chamber, the 6.8 can be loaded to 2.285 - 2.3 & change. Also, you need to know; Remington and S&B(Although, they did have some SRPs in some FMJs in an overrun.) uses large primers. HSM uses Remington cases. All others use SRP.. |
