The American Eagle line from Federal brings us this 6.8 Remington SPC load, featuring a 115-grain FMJ bullet. It's designed for high-volume shooting, with an emphasis on consistency and reliability. The full metal jacket bullet feeds smoothly in most 6.8 SPC rifles, and the 2675 fps muzzle velocity provides flat trajectories for easier target acquisition at typical range distances. This ammunition is particularly well-suited for training and target practice, offering shooters a cost-effective option that closely mimics the performance of premium defensive loads. The brass cases are reloadable, adding value for those who handload their ammunition. With a ballistic coefficient of .378, this load maintains good downrange energy, making it effective for mid-range target engagement. The boxer primers and quality components ensure reliable ignition and consistent performance, even during extended range sessions.

Federal 6.8 Remington SPC American Eagle FAQ:
While accuracy can vary depending on the firearm and shooter, this ammunition is designed for consistent performance. Many shooters report 1-2 MOA accuracy from quality rifles, making it suitable for most target shooting applications.
The 6.8 SPC generally produces more felt recoil than 5.56 NATO due to its larger bullet and increased powder charge. However, the recoil is still manageable for most shooters and less than larger calibers like .308 Winchester.
Most 6.8 SPC barrels have a 1:10" or 1:11" twist rate, which is suitable for stabilizing this 115-grain bullet. Always consult your firearm's manual for specific recommendations.
The 6.8 SPC typically has a flatter trajectory than 5.56 NATO due to its heavier bullet and higher ballistic coefficient. This can result in easier long-range shooting and less windage adjustment.
The maximum effective range depends on various factors, including the firearm and shooter skill. However, the 6.8 SPC cartridge is generally considered effective out to 400-500 yards, with this load maintaining supersonic velocity beyond 800 yards.
You can use this ammunition in an AR-15 style rifle that is specifically chambered for 6.8 SPC. Standard AR-15s chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington cannot safely fire 6.8 SPC ammunition.
The 6.8 SPC uses a .277" diameter bullet. This is the same diameter as the .270 Winchester, but in a shorter case designed for use in AR-style platforms.
The 6.8 SPC cartridge, including this load, generally performs well out of shorter barrels. While there will be some velocity loss compared to longer barrels, the cartridge was designed with shorter barrels in mind and maintains good ballistics.
This ammunition uses standard Small Rifle primers. This is important information for reloaders and ensures reliable ignition across a wide range of temperatures.
The muzzle energy of this 115-grain bullet at 2675 fps is approximately 1827 ft-lbs. This provides significant downrange energy for target shooting and training purposes.
