I looked and have seen some refrences to thies questions but help me out.
I'm looking at a new SPR and thinking of loading it in 6.8 SPC. I'm not ging to build this rifle I'll buy it compleate right now Noveskie 18" N4 with his SS 1 in 12 barrel is the primary contender. Questions: I have seen some say you can use standard AR mags in/for a 6.8 SPC. Ths true? for both 20 and 30 round mags? How many rounds can you load in each? P-Mags yes no? For a 1 in 12 barrel what weight range loads can I use? I supose that it for now, thank you! Josh |

Quoted: Ok so the 6.8 takes it's own mag hmm one of the +'s for 6.8 was the idea of NOT buying new mags. Thanks guys! Yep the 6.8 needs it's own magazines. Sure you and load a few 6.8 rounds in a 5.56 magazines, but you're not getting anything. If you want an alternate (bigger) caliber that uses standard magazines then look to the 6x45, .300 Whisper, or the .458 SOCOM. Personally I'd say spend a few bucks on magazines and get the 6.8. |

Quoted: I don't know who told you, you could use 556 mags,but they were mistaken.
RJ No one, was a misconception and why I wanted to ask folks who knew more than I do about this platform. So I asked! 
It may not keep me from a 6.8 but was one of the +'s for going this way. |
