This thread like all has run off the rails so-
I started this thread so members could talk back and forth and get ideas, not for me to get ideas and try stuff. This is capitalism at it's finest, if you believe in something spend the money, invest your time and money into your belief.
ETA a suggestion, members make a poll, come up with a game plan possibly to approach a major player and use the membership of the forum to set it in motion.
IMO it will take a major player to adopt the 6.8 as it's own, advertise and put things on the shelf. It's the best deer and hog cartridge in the country seems like someone would want to capitalize on that. I wouldn't pound the idea that SPCII speeds are needed to kill hogs or deer, they drop to normal factory loads every day.
Mods do your thing, edit, move, delete, make a poll or whatever you feel is right.
. With all of the comments below it looks like a bolt action rifle may be the next thing on the list. Getting everyone to agree on rifle specs would be a major hurdle. SBRs and long barrel sniper rifles would stop it dead in it's tracks...IMO. 18" barrels are probably mid -ground, close enough for those wanting a 16", close enough for those wanting a 20".
Either way cheap ammo and a run of rifles will take a fairly large company to pull off.
