The .277 Wolverine (6.8×39mm) is a wildcat cartridge based on the 5.56x45mm NATO round and was designed by Mark Kexel of Mad Dog Weapon Systems in 2014. It is a versatile mid-powered cartridge with better ballistic performance over the AR-15's traditional .223 Remington / 5.56×45mm NATO chamberings. Converting from .223 / 5.56 to the .277 Wolverine requires only a new barrel. It utilizes small rifle primers, as well as .277 caliber projectiles (like the similar 6.8 SPC, the .270 Winchester, as well as the highly anticipated .27 Nosler and [.277 Fury]]).
