I looked into getting one. Looked to me like a hard hitting round on both ends. It's real advantages were realized at ranges considerably farther out than I have any business shooting in hunting scenarios. I'm going with good old plane Jane 270.
Probably don't really need one,but I want one.....

I was surprised how short even 270 ammo is. And expensive. I thought this ammo thing was turning around It's crazy , I need some more .270 and sportsman's always seems to be out . I'ma gonna have to go visit the nosler factory and buy direct if they haven't used covid to keep the public away

I've been looking at the 6.8 myself. If a 6.8 western is what you want, then don't hesitate. I just went hog hunting with a guy that has one, he loves it ( and he found ammo). Ought to be a good shooter!
