Is the 6.8 SPC round still in use? I haven't heard much about it in the last couple of years. Of all the alternate rounds loaded in the AR-15 style rifles I thought it was the best of the bunch with a good balance of power and bullet weight.

I just checked the Ruger site to see if they still chambered the Mini-14 in the round and they do not show one. So maybe the 300BO has killed it off. I really don't know.

So does anyone have any input on the round and it uses today? I thought it made a great deer round in a bolt action rifle.
