Forgot to add this picture earlier. This is with factory Federal XM68GD ammo at 100yds.

Found this on the 6.8 forum, I thought it might interest folks interested in the 6.8. There are better rds for this by the way.

6.8 16" @ 600yds

I made some new metal targets for our personal range and figure i might as well break them in.

Here is my first ever group at 600yds with the 6.8 / 120gr SST thru my 16" BHW barrel using a Vortex PST 2.5-10. Im not positive but i think from 100yds to 600yds i cranked the elevation up 24.5moa?

The 10 shot group was about 9".

Here is mine. Nothing special.
100% Palmetto State Armory
20" heavy profile barrel - 11" twist - chrome lined - not floated
premium BCG
Larry Vickers VTAS sling
Nikon Prostaff 2-7

I have a couple hundred rounds through it. 100% reliable so far. I had no problem getting 2" - 2.5" groups at 200 yd. at Styx River on a breezy day with 120 gr. bullets. I need to work up some loads and see what it shoots best. I like that heavy barrel. It doesn't seem to heat up as fast.

 

[FrankT]

Hey John, that handguard is not free float? The twist on the barrel? chrome lined? If you check 6.8 forums you can see the tested loads and different bullets too. I think 2" at 200 is very respectable but after playing with it more I am betting you get that down quite a bit.

 

[JohnAL]

Yeah Frank, I left that out. 11" twist - chrome lined - not floated.

I imagine I can get the groups down a little by tweaking the loads but I was quite pleased with my initial results. It seems to like the heavy bullets.

 

[FrankT]

Yeah freefloat and you will add accuracy, don't have to go crazy in cost either. The new UTG pro has been getting good reviews. Chrome lined are a crap shoot and the more you shoot it the better it will get generally. You got a good one or it would not shoot as well as it does. The 1-11 is good I assume it is a SPCII.

I took some factory loads out to 2.26. I think the out come was good.
