So, now there will be ANOTHER 6.8 standard, with longer mags and longer COAL. If I were considering this route, I think I would have made it long enough to use some of the longer .277 bullets, without giving up powder space. 2.30 doesn't gain enough space to justify a whole new magwell and specification, at least not to me.
But...I don't own a 6.8 yet, so maybe they have their reasons!
They are going to have to find someone who will shepherd this through SAAMI as a completely new cartridge, I'm thinking.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
