I have just tried some SSA and Remington in my LMT MRP 6.8.
Both functioned fine, but I noticed that the Remington brass was much cleaner after firing and the SSA has a bigger dent about 1 inch from the rim where I think it hits the brass deflector?

Thanks for the reply! Which Bullet types did you use - 115 grain or 110? FMJ or ?? I have heard that some of the blunt nose rounds and soft points are more likely to jam. Is this your experience? I just want something that will feed reliably and would be effective for both home defense and hunting.

The 115gr Extreme's from SSA are econoomical (as far as 6.8 goes) and have decent terminal performance. If you're not looking at shooting long distances it would make a grea 'general purpose round'. As for feeding issues, some of us w/o extended feed ramps have no problems (I am one of them). If you have the extended M4 feedramps (and IIRC CMMG does on all their rifles) then you shouldn't have any issues.
If you want to spend a bit more $$ the OTM from Hornady is also very good and has a higher BC giving it better long range capability than the Extreme. |

Thanks Forrest! I will order a few boxes of 115gr Extreme's from SSA for starters. I requested the extended and polished M4 feedramps when I ordered my CMMG upper so I should be fine. I am hoping to get it next week. I'll post the results when I get the chance.

werra, I would recomend SSA Enhanced Fragmentation OTM. It's the Sierra Match King with a cannelure, and very comparable with the Hornady BTHP/WC. I am biased because I also sell this as a product. My customers have been giving me very good reports on accuracy for this round. Hope this helps... |

I'll remember to add some to my shopping cart during my next order. SSA makes good stuff so I'll have to try it out. |

Tim, the ones you sell, are they the Combat Load or Regular Load? |

I only have the commercial loads right now. My next order will be for a few thousand rounds of combat loads. As with Silver State, customers will have to call in the order so I can verify that they have one of my new barrels or uppers. |
