The new version is missing the forward assist, but the big reveal was 6.8mm 113gr “contract over run practice ammo” for only $2,400 a case.

This isn’t even the 6.8mm 130gr military super bullet NGSW was based around - it’s 113gr practice ammo. Also by emphasizing practice rounds I’m not even certain they are loaded to the same pressures as the god stuff despite the hybrid case.Ok, I did a bit of digging and found 460 rounds of 6.8x51 in a metal ammo crate listed at just over $1200. I’ve also seen two military ammo boxes, bundled together, listed as a “case.” 920 rounds plus 2 ammo boxes for $2400 is pricey, but not ludicrous. At least, not when 6.5 creedmoor can be found at $40+ per 20.
Everything I've read says the US range ammo is lower velocity.This isn’t even the 6.8mm 130gr military super bullet NGSW was based around - it’s 113gr practice ammo.

120gr ELD-M 6.5 creedmoor for about $1.28 a round. Not the best BC but better than a 113gr 6.8mm with unknown velocities for practice.
Of all the Sig Next announcements this one has me scratching my head the most; and they also released a 4.3” barreled P365 “Fuse” at this event for context.
Incorrect. See 3:01ishEverything I've read says the US range ammo is lower velocity.
Once you get down to the individual units, you have very real and limited training ammunition budgets, as well as go-to-war ammo in ASPs set aside. At Division, Brigade, and Battalion-level, an increase in cost per round from mere cents to $3.47/rd or $21.47/rd basically kills training.Probably...it's the military. Unlimited supply of money, $25 a round is cheap to them.
They tried 62 blends of top secret powders before, settling on the first round, at 80,000 psi.
A spokesman said they were going to drop to 70,000 psi for accuracy concerns ... did they? Maybe in the 113 gr "practice rounds"...But...Not if the military needs the velocity for body armor penetration.
I use the hybrid cases in 6.5 CM , 308 win, 8.6 BO, etc.
Powders are limited in what is available to the public ...here is a 6.5 CM with 140 gr bullet with a top velocity of 3152 fps....with a 24" barrel factory RPR. The wrong powder is written on tbe paper...by the way.
I do not know what it will do in a 13" barrel, cause I ain't gonna shorten it.
I have no use for an SBR and have eliminated all AR pistols. Being a rifleman, 16" is as short as I'll ever go....I like 18" ARs, & maybe even a 20". Short barrels leave too much on the table for my shooting endeavors.
The 80ksi load would generate 2780fps with a 140gr in 6.5CM hybrid from a 13” barrel based on 45-90’s 24” barrel numbers, assuming that load is 80ksi.Does a 70kpsi cartridge from a 13” rifle still outperform a standard cartridge in a 16” rifle?
GarandThumb’s sample, yes.So what are these Sig juggernauts averaging group size wise? 3 MOA? 4+MOA? Minute of Duck?
I mean, it's a solution for a very specific problem requested by a customer with deep pockets, fair play for sig to deliver and cost it appropriately. the only reason it costs that much for us is the classic rule of "we can't sell it for less than uncle sam pays"![]()

I think the Eotech reticles are great and wouldn’t change a thing, but that’s just me.
At first I thought the $4k price was a joke when a buddy told me about it.
