Army Ready to Award Contract for Replacement of the M4

Read the article. It's not 6.8SPC; it's 6.8X54. It's like a necked down 308 to 6.8 but with very high pressure.

Oh I didn’t even realize the .277 fury was in the running. I don’t know why they wouldn’t lead with that instead of waiting all the way down in the article they said 6.8 like 20x before revealing it was the 6.8x51.
 
80k psi to be exact. 3200 fps from a 13in barrel.

I’m going to want to see some chrono rounds before I believe that number. The army would say that crap all the time. I remember getting issued ACUs for the first time and how it was going to make you invisible on the battle field. Lol

SAAMI put it out. Highest commercial pressure they have ever certified. I think it was “up to” 3200fps from the MCX SPEAR which is 13in bbl
