New caliber on the block will it dethrone the 6.5 CM?

Been reading a lot on the new 6.8 Western. Any thoughts from anyone. They are talking long range energy of the 300 win mag with less recoil and better ballistics.

Identical 6.8 Western switch barrel builds for me and a friend  and I for our January Sonora hunt! Terminus Apollo Lite Ti Actions, AG Composites stocks, Triggertech Diamond triggers, Wyatts extended mag boxes and 7.5 twist Hells Canyon Armory carbon barrels! TT Scopes removed and ready for reinstallation upon completion

They had some 6.8 western ammo at Runnings in Brockport when I was there Friday for anyone that is looking for it.

There is plenty because there are not many if any rifles available yet

That is a real nice group! Any 5 shot groups? That looks a bunch better than what a 270 wsm can do.

Looks like .5 moa or better.
