The U. S. Military is set to adopt a new rifle and LMG round, along with rifles and machineguns. It is the 6.8x51 SIG, known as the 277 Fury for us civilians. It is a composit case with a stainless steel case head with a brass body and is said to be capable of 80,000 psi. Does anyone know if this case is reloadable? | ||

it's supposed to be, and Sig is supposed to be making [or having made] dies for it. if it ever gets here. in the meantime you can buy a new 270 Winchester and check out the ballistics you'll be using later. | |||

Non-composite commercial ammo is supposed to be offered at a reduced pressure/performance. Probably fine, since most commercial rifle actions consider 80,000 psi a proof load… . | |||

What kind of suppressor will work at 80,000 psi? TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||

All of them; realize that the high pressure is only at the breech end; at the muzzle is is far less. Pressure curve, called that for a reason. As for reloadability; also realize that the conventional, all brass case civilian version, will not provide any increase in performance above any other cartridge of it's size, and will be a big waste of time and money. You need the steel head and special primers to get the high pressures. As I have said before, it is easy to get 100K psi. out of a firearm; you need steel cases and electric screwed in primers. Like we use in the M256 120mm tank cannon. Nothing special about the gun itself. | |||
