It is ballistically similar to the 6.8.
Perhaps my lack of familiarity of the 6.8 is clouding my understanding but what's not to like? Seems like it is everything the .300 blk is and some more.
The .300 BLK is easier to buy/use as magazine mods are not needed AND it works well with subsonics. It's a decent general purpose short range (200M and under) round.
It launches 110gr projectiles between 100 and 150fps slower than the 6.8 so it's really not up in the 6.x class of performance.
More like a bridging round between the 6.x class rounds and the .300. It will give you more useable range (with supersonic bullets) but if you need more range you might as well step up to the 6.5G or 6.8.
