I think the rimless 6.8 case makes more sense in a straight magazine. I am puzzled by the 6.8 diameter. I wondered if it might have been to avoid any legal stuff with the already SAAMI 6.5 Grendel.

my thought process was that existing 100 gr partition in 6.5 was better than any light 270 bullet (varmint mostly)

little thinner, little lighter for same SD, easier to make velocity on smaller powder column.

So easy now to buy a grendel barrel or rifle and dies and brass, compared to same for a wildcat 6.5SPC.

Mini Howa and be done with it, or one of many AR manufacturers.
