I found the 6.8 case to be a very good design in terms of reliable feed and cycling in a standard AR (better than a grendel, for example) and also powder capacity--the only lack being a limitation of the length of the bullets you can use that otherwise would need to be jammed down into the case. I too believe the 6.8--and it's wildcat spawn--will be around for quite some time. I personally think the real issue limiting it's popularity is simply the caliber--if it weren't for the 270 win I wonder if it would even exist at all.
