As is, yes. However, if the neck is trimmed by ~1 mm, the resulting 6.5x42 would permit use of bullets with an ogive like that of the Norma 120gr FMJ.
Oh, yeah. A 6x42 on the SPC case? Me likem mucho grande!
Naw, useless. Couldn't get the velocities you want from a 120 bullet. The 6.8 barely manages with short bullets. No way with anything with a decent BC.
A 6MM 105 or similar might work, but 6mm is barely better than 5.56, and I can't imagine the .mils considering such a minimal change.
Actually, scratch that, it wouldn't work. You would lose too much powder room even with the 6mm light bullets, at least the ones with decent BC's. It's been tried, and its why Robert Whitley is using the Grendel case in his 6mm AR and 6mm AR Turbo.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
