Duration: 13:10

This expert-level analysis of the Sig Spear rifle chambered in 6.8x51mm (.277 Fury) with match-grade ammunition reveals significant accuracy potential. The test demonstrates that while standard ball ammunition may yield less precise results, the 155-grain match load is capable of sub-MOA accuracy in three-shot groups, with five-shot groups averaging around 1.26 MOA. The 6.8x51mm cartridge exhibits impressive ballistics, exceeding .308 Winchester in velocity and energy with comparable projectile weights.

Quick Summary

The Sig Spear rifle, when tested with 155-grain Sig 277 Fury match ammunition, demonstrated the capability for sub-MOA accuracy in three-shot groups, with some groups measuring as tight as 0.5 MOA. Five-shot groups averaged around 1.26 MOA, indicating consistent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the accuracy potential of the Sig Spear rifle with match-grade ammunition?

The Sig Spear rifle, when tested with 155-grain Sig 277 Fury match ammunition, demonstrated the capability for sub-MOA accuracy in three-shot groups, with some groups measuring as tight as 0.5 MOA. Five-shot groups averaged around 1.26 MOA.

How does the 6.8x51mm (.277 Fury) cartridge perform ballistically compared to .308 Winchester?

The 6.8x51mm (.277 Fury) cartridge, even with match loads, shows superior ballistics to .308 Winchester with comparable projectile weights. For instance, a 155-grain 277 Fury load achieved higher velocity and muzzle energy than a 155-grain .308 load from similar barrel lengths.

Does the type of ammunition significantly affect the Sig Spear's accuracy?

Yes, the type of ammunition greatly impacts the Sig Spear's accuracy. While 113-grain military ball ammunition may result in less precise groups (potentially around 4 MOA), the 155-grain Sig 277 Fury match ammunition shows potential for sub-MOA accuracy.

What were the chronograph results for the Sig Spear with 155-grain match ammunition?

The chronograph data for the 16-inch barrel Sig Spear firing 155-grain match ammunition showed an average velocity of 2737 fps and a muzzle energy of 2677.9 ft-lbs. This is comparable in energy to the 113-grain ball round despite a lower velocity.
