Hi Greg and welcome. No. The primary difference between the 6.8 Western vs 6.8 SPC is in their case design. The 6.8 Western has a higher case capacity and is capable of firing heavier bullets at higher muzzle velocities from bolt-action rifles while the 6.8 SPC was designed for use in the semi-auto AR-15 as an upgrade to the 5.56 NATO. That being said, the 6.8 SPC is an excellent deer round with the right bullet selection. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/132183/winchester+deer+season+xp+rifle+6.8+spc+115+gr+extreme+point+polymer+tip+20rd+box

Hi Greg, no sir, this is not the same round as 6.8 Winchester. Stay safe & have a great day!
