Winchester and Browning just released the 6.8 Western cartridge and I’ve compiled ballistic charts that show the 6.8 Western ballistics versus 7 mm Rem. Mag. and .308 Win. Figures are provided by Winchester, using its loads exclusively to give a good, apples-to-apples comparison.
Zero is at 200 yards. By sticking with single company data, barrel lengths should be identical.

The new Winchester 6.8 Western loads shown in the charts include a 165-grain AccuBond, 170-grain Silvertip and 170-grain MatchKing. For 7 mm Rem. Mag. the information is for a 175-grain Power-Point bullet and in .308 Win. it’s the 168-grain Ballistic Silvertip load.

And here’s a comparison of the 6.8 Western with .270 WSM as well as .30-06 Sprg. as well as my rolling list of the best new guns and gear for 2021. Browning also unveiled X-Bolt rifles chambered for the cartridge yesterday.
Nice Article. IF you are ever out to the Front Range in Colorado, come out and try an ACI.
So why did you use a 168 grain match king 7mm rem mag bullet instead on a 175 grain power point that has a horrible bc? It would have gave everyone a better perspective of what the round is capable of.
Ouch. Good point….let me get some stuff off my “to do” list and I’ll get on it. And thank you for stopping by and pointing out that oversight (sigh). Hope you have a glorious day and consider coming back.
