Yeah, they have to plan on producing this Amma's if they announced it, and this batch won't be filling back orders. So, hopefully it will show up at LGS soon.
What @Ducatim900 said. I reload and stick with 90gr gold dots but another big company getting on board is nice. I still don't see another ar 15 round that is as versatile and does what I need it to as well as the 6.8spc II.
I agree, the 6.8 SPC II and the variety of bullets have done everything I needed it to do; It's not a show boat in one category but it seems to put category's in to one boat, it works well for me.
Friend o' mine shoots the XP's in a different caliber and loves them. His shop hasn't received any of the 6.8's yet so he hasn't gotten any feedback from customers. Hope I can help him out with that soon.
I keep the XPs on hand in 6.5C & 308 Win. They both punch above their price class.
Their external and terminal ballistics have me looking forward to the 6.8 SPC version, especially if they're as hot they're claiming. Real Interested in chronoing them out of the 20 inch ARP and work up dope for them for this fall.
At this rate it will be fall before I can get my hands on some...

Sportsman's Warehouse in Phoenix has 6.8 Western ammunition in stock. View attachment 68100
They also had Federal fusion 165 grain 308 win In stock but I wasn't going to pay the $40 a box gouging prices they want for it.
To be honest the 6.8W looks pretty good to me. A 270 in a short action. But with the situation we have now in the USA, we are not adding anything to the Clan Battery that isn't a caliber we already have.
I did see winchesters loading of the 6.8 western in stores today (I dont get out much). One box at sportsmans warehouse, and multiple at cabelas in Lexington Ky...no 6.8 spc....I looked
