Does any one know if any of the custom barrel makers are turning out any of the new 6.8x43 barrels. I guess you could call this new special operations caliber a .270 short.

Does any one have any experiance with the new (relatively new) round?

JD Jone's SSK industries reports chambering for this on the website. It sounds like it will be a slick little round.

good luck

Thanks, I knew that some one would soon make that chambering available. I agree, that chambering should be attractive to some people. I can already hear others saying, why not just load the 270 win down to match the 6.8 and save some money. DJay

if its a Contender I am curious how much different it would be ballistically than Joneses 6.5 JDJ .
