Nice suggestions, but wildcats not available on the open market don't seem to be the OP's intent. Both the 6.8 and 6.5 at least have industry support and parts on the shelf, today.

Most hunters want industry support, meaning ammo on the shelf. That's already problematic with the 6.8 and 6.5, not many gun stores even carry it yet. It will get better, what is interesting is all the jockeying to come out with others loaded straight off the 5.56 case. The .300 Whisper/Blackout goes back to the 70's, and it hasn't made as much impact.

You can only churn the market so much, 6.8 and 6.5 are about the only ones with serious traction right now. Cutting the pie in smaller pieces isn't going to appeal to mainstream hunters new to the AR.
