SIG SAUER Broadens 6.8 / 277 FURY Offerings

Thursday, July 25th, 2024

During the recent SIG NEXT event in New Hampshire SIG announced that they would not only introduce an MCX SPEAR chambered in 6.8×51, but that they are also increasing the types of 277 FURY cartridges as well as offering a 6.8 ammunition for commercial sale.

277 FURY / 6.8 x 51mm Ammunition

The cartridge is unlike anything else out there and was developed by SIG Ammunition in 2017 at their plant in Arkansas. The design is 23.5% lighter than the weight of an equivalent energy cartridge (270 WSM) which exceeds the Army’s goal of a 20% weight reduction for the Next Generation Squad Weapon program.

In addition to being lighter, the case is also stronger. It features a unique hybrid case design which is made of two components, a brass body and steel head. Combined, you get more strength in the head where you need it, and a malleable case which works very well in the firing cycle. This allows the cartridge to withstand very high pressures, in excess of 80,000 psi, and right along with it, you get very high velocities.

277 FURY is the SAAMI certified equivalent of the US Army’s new 6.8 x 51mm hybrid-cased cartridge developed for NGSW. The commercial 277 FURY ammunition has been around for a while now and incorporates the 150 grain Nosler AccuBond projectile. It’s a boat tail bullet, featuring a polymer tip, copper-alloy jacket with a lead-alloy core and a thick heel. With this cartridge expect 3,000 FPS from a 16” barrel and an additional 30 FPS for every additional inch of barrel.

SIG Ammunition’s new 113 grain 6.8 ball cartridge from SIG is as close as you are going to get to the new XM1188 solid copper projectile ammunition being procured by the US Army for NGSW. It comes off of the same line and it’s produced to the same specs, meaning, you’ll see the same performance. Expect muzzle velocities above 3200 feet per second from a 16” barrel from this hybrid cartridge.

All told, you’ll have access to 6.8×51 hybrid ball in can (460) or crate (920), 277 SIG Fury Venari Hunting 130gr soft point (non hybrid), and 277 FURY hybrid match 155gr OTM as well as the currently available 277 Accubond and 277 ball (non hybrid).

There are a lot of rumors floating around out there about the NGSW program. One of them is that SIG isn’t delivering enough ammunition to the Army. This isn’t true. In fact, the availability of this commercial ammunition is proof that it isn’t so.

6.8 MCX SPEAR

When the Army adopted SIG new ammunition they also adopted two new weapons to fire it, the XM250 Automatic Rifle which is actually a belt-fed machine gun replacement for the current Squad Automatic Weapon and the XM7 Rifle which will replace the M4 carbine in units like the Infantry and Cav Scouts across the service.

Along with the commercial 277 FURY ammunition, the bolt action SIG CROSS has been available for a couple of years. In addition, you’ll now also have a semi-auto rifle chambered in 277 FURY. They are expanding the caliber selection of the popular MCX SPEAR platform to include 6.8 / 277 FURY in addition to the currently available .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Just like the XM7 version, the 6.8 MCX SPEAR features a 13.3″ barrel so it’s an SBR. However, they are planning to introduce a pistol version now that stabilizing braces are back on the menu as well as a standalone upper for those who already own an MCX SPEAR rifle in .308. As with the 6.8 ammunition, the 6.8 MCX SPEAR is as close as you are going to get to NGSW without joining the Army and being assigned to one of the close combat units receiving the new gear.

Look for these new options soon.

Daniel Horner Achieves Historic Win at USPSA Multi-Gun National Championship with SIG MCX-SPEAR LT

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2024

NEWINGTON, N.H., (July 23, 2024) – SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG professional shooter Daniel Horner on a historic win at the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals. After successfully defending his championship title, Horner remains the only competitor in USPSA history to hold the national Modified Division title and is the first competitor ever to earn a national competition title win with an MCX-SPEAR LT rifle.

“At the beginning of 2024, Daniel set his sights on the IPSC World Shoot this August. He could have easily taken his M400-DH3, that he’s won multiple championships with, given it a tune-up and started training – that was the easy button,” began Robby Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer, SIG SAUER, Inc. “However, Daniel’s plan was to use this opportunity to demonstrate to the world, on the biggest stage, the versatility of the MCX-SPEAR product line. On his quest, Daniel has activated so many elements of SIG SAUER with the one constant being his persistence to prove the capability beyond the battlefield.”

At the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun National Championship, Horner defended his title through eight field courses and four speed shoots using an MCX-SPEAR LT Rifle with a TANGO6T riflescope, a P320-DH3 pistol with a ROMEO-X optic, and SIG SAUER Match Elite competition ammunition.

“Winning this year felt great, and not just to put another national championship under my belt- it was the result of six months of hard work with the engineers developing the MCX platform from the ultimate battle rifle into the ultimate competition rifle. I have shot many thousands of rounds through the MCX platforms that have been selected for SOCOM while I’m teaching classes, so I was very familiar with the design and the operation but tuning it to be able to win at the highest level (including the long-range portion of the nationals) was something that hadn’t been done before. What happened at Multi-Gun Nationals is the result of a bunch of people at the absolute top of what they do coming together and making great things happen,” commented Daniel Horner, Team SIG professional shooter.

The MCX-SPEAR LT was developed for an exclusive special operations military program that has since been adopted and fielded throughout the world. Additionally, in 2022, the SIG SAUER MCX-SPEAR was selected by the U.S. Army for the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program, bringing an entirely new level of performance, reliability, and capability to the soldiers.

The 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals was held at the Forest Lakes Sportsman’s Club in Forest Lake, Minnesota, July 19 – 21, 2024. Horner will compete next at the International Practical Shooting Competition (IPSC) beginning August 4, 2024, at Ruutikangas Shooting Center in Liminka, Finland.
