American Eagle 6.8 SPC Ammo
American Eagle, Federal Ammunition’s budget line of ammo, is now offering a 6.8 SPC round. The new ammo will use a 115 grain full metal jacket bullet. The published muzzle velocity is 2675 fps.
According to the company, the new load is “optimized for use in [modern sporting rifles].” The cartridges use a brass, reloadable case.
Federal states the new American Eagle 6.8 load is “priced for volume shooting.” It carries an MSRP of $19.99 for a box of 20. 200 round cases will also be available. The only problem for shooters might be in finding any of this ammunition.

Actual price should be quite a bit lower than MSRP. Midway is listing it at $14.99/20. Hopefully this is the start of sub $1 a round 6.8 ammo.
I love the 6.8 round. This is what I carry in my patrol car on a daily basis in my AR15 Bushmaster. Be glad when this American Eagle hits the market. Hopefully sooner than later.
