Re: Winchester 6.8
interesting concept .... longer range by using a heavier bullet fired at slower speeds .. 
Re: Winchester 6.8
I don't know, but it seems to be a solution in search of a problem. I guess there will be some sportsman that absolutely needs this cartridge for the specific critter they want to dispatch. All I can say is; if you are that person - go for it.

Re: Winchester 6.8
A few years ago, the military was looking at the 6.8 for use in urban combat, but it would have only been good out in the fields to about 300yds. The 6.5 had a longer range. Now the 6.8 Winchester seems to meet the military criteria. Lethality increase over the 5.56 with the longer range.
Will be interesting to see where this all goes...
