Being biased is one thing but trying to keep it out of a piece is harder.
I'd hope one could remain unbiased..
Paulo, what about you?

Hey Guest, it looks like you haven't made your first post yet. Until you make an introduction thread, the rest of the site is locked to posting. Why not take a few minutes to say hi!
Anyone wish to do a 6.8 SPC write up for Shooting Times?
Dave Fortier asked me to do it, but I would rather not.
I am doing several pieces for him, but I feel that many others here have a far greater working knowledge and ins and outs of the round itself. I do not reload, so I am already lacking...
So, if you feel your able to write a good piece... let me know.... Tim Pack is doing one for the 6.5 G and Dave said he would like a 6.8 SPC article to balance it out.
Some of you want to do this... I just know it. so lets hear who?

As soon as I get rid of this flu and put the Blackberry Storm down, I will look into it. How long does it have to be?Cold said:Being biased is one thing but trying to keep it out of a piece is harder.

+1. I do editorial review for peer reviewed journals in another field, and would happily offer my editing services.Mark21 said:I know there are people here that are far more technically knowledgeable than I am when it comes to the ins and outs of the 6.8SPC and how it has evolved, so I'll leave that to someone else. If someone would like me to edit the piece for grammar and such, I have written a lot of articles in public arenas (finance mostly) so I'll be happy to volunteer that way to further the cause.
Here's a reverse angle:
68forums members, who might not necessarily be qualified to write the piece, could gather quotations (by those who ARE) from threads here on 68forums. These could be categorized and ordered, then passed BACK to the original authors (HTR, Tim, Harrison, etc.) for THEIR review.
This would be more of a collaborative effort, and would free up "big name" guys who are likely too busy doing what they do best: developing (and shooting!) the 6.8spc. It would naturally be more cumbersome as a whole, but thinking of the number of guys who would love to be able to help out, it might not be so difficult once it got going.
This idea came to me, thinking of M4Super90 and Mark21 offering to step up in some capacity; if it has legs, perhaps one of them would be interested in drawing up a plan.

How about something like "The Evolution of the Remington 6.8 SPC"
Brief history.
Current performance available.
Best barrel specifications for current performance. Chamber, twist, barrel length.
Applications.. Hunting, Self Defense, Military, LE. Anecdotal stories applicable.
Paulo, about 20,000 words should do nicely. Cold needs it by Friday. :lol: :lol:

It would be good to see some current information on the 6.8 in print. There are still too many nay sayers of the cartridge who are basing their opinions on antiquated data. The 6.8 is gaining in popularity but it is still a long ways from "mainstream". The more people find out what we already know about the cartridge the more demand hence the more availability of ammo.

There is a whole forum dedicated to the 6.8 SPC class being held in NC in April 09.... Its going to be great and some nice people showing up too..
How about, you write it!!!! Have Mark 21 or the other gent offering editing services edit it?paulosantos said:How about something like "The Evolution of the Remington 6.8 SPC"
I would suggest Tim if anyone can get ahold of him ....
....I think Evolution has a nice ring. It is suggestive that the 6.8spc is also an evolution for the AR platform.
I too agree with evolution.... I truly see the 6.8 as what the 556 wished it would of been or an evolution of the 556 round.....
