That sentiment goes back to the 1960s when the M16 was first fielded. I tend to agree with Boringguy45. Another idea that won't likely go anywhere.
I'm unaware of any 6.8 round that is in any way an improvement over 5.56. Granted M855 is a mediocre round at best, but a simple switch to Mk262 would be massively wiser than anything 6.8
We played with 6.8 very briefly, and it makes no sense. Might as well just go 300 worthless.
