I dunno about that - i dont think it feeds as well as the 6.8 because of the sharper shoulder angle and reduced body taper..

My cousin, a long-distance shooter, uses a 6MM AR for his competitions. He's very fond of the cartridge. It might serve them well, as far as distance. No idea about armor penetration, but its using, essentially, a 243 bullet, so there should be some good bullet choices.
