What some of the curmudgeons are missing, is a round like this shouldn't be compared to your favorite bolt action round and dismissed as nothing new. It should be considered for the platform in which it is intended.

Kind of like comparing a 302 Ford to a 460, which wouldn't mean shyt if you're intending to slap it in a 4000lb truck. However, that 302 suddenly looks real good when the platform you're discussing is a 2800lb mustang, and the 460 won't fit without heavy modification and turning that nimble pony into a front heavy plow.

This 270AR is pushing the envelope of an unmodified AR-15. That is where it is of interest to those who are interested in getting everything out of an AR that they can. As Constructor said, it's just a wildcat, but wildcats are cool, especially when they are viewed within the constraints of the platform for which they are intended.
