Hornady Frontier 6.8mm Remington SPC ammunition (part no. FR730) loads a 110-grain full metal jacket bullet over brass cases, giving 6.8 SPC shooters a range-priced option built to real Hornady manufacturing standards. Hornady designed the Frontier line for exactly this kind of high-volume range use, so 6.8 SPC owners are not stuck paying premium hunting-ammo prices just to run their rifles. Because 6.8 SPC uses a different bolt, magazine, and barrel than standard 5.56 AR-15s, dedicated ammunition like this keeps a purpose-built upper fed without hunting for scarce stock. Twenty rounds to the box, this is rifle ammunition built for shooters running the caliber for its flatter trajectory and added downrange energy over 5.56.
