I'm still trying to slowly decide on a piston 7.62 (ie Ruger SR762) or a DI carbine (S&W M&P or other variant).
Would the 6.8 SPC ever come into play here as a mid-range between the 5.56 and the 7.62? It may help alleviate the 7.62 negatives (weight, ammo, etc...) while helping solve some of the 5.56 disadvantages that they are trying to overcome? It was an AMU developed cartridge, IIRC, no?
it will be interesting to see how it all pans out, if at all.
