Looks like Winchester is finally getting into the 6.8 spc game. I've had good luck with quality of there brass in the past. Just hoping for small primer pockets and a reasonable price.

More the better...
Look forward to having another bullet and brass in the wild. We need more cheap options, we have plenty of high performance options but not enough plinkers especially for the non reloaders out there.

Who knows what it's going to be . The box says 120 grain and the write up says 115 grain . Manufacturers specs / bullet descriptions are almost always sales department generated and may not represent the true product . Hopefully this will be a new bullet and brass option .

Someone here made the excellent observation that Winchester started making 6.8 SPC ammo at the same time it introduced its big brother, the 6.8 Western Loudenboomer.* It looks like Winchester's marketing department thinks it important to have a 6.8 "family" of cartridges.

* Ok, OK, they didn't call it the Loudenboomer....... but maybe they should have.

Friend o' mine shoots the XP's in a different caliber and loves them. His shop hasn't received any of the 6.8's yet so he hasn't gotten any feedback from customers. Hope I can help him out with that soon.

I keep the XPs on hand in 6.5C & 308 Win. They both punch above their price class.

Their external and terminal ballistics have me looking forward to the 6.8 SPC version, especially if they're as hot they're claiming. Real Interested in chronoing them out of the 20 inch ARP and work up dope for them for this fall.

At this rate it will be fall before I can get my hands on some...
