I am pretty sure this is a done deal, Sig and Winchester have won the military contracts already for 6.8 ammo production. It has been over a decade and it has been clear the 5.56 was a terrible performer overseas in Iraq and especially Afghanistan. The M855 and M855A1 revision showed poor results overseas, the Army knew they couldn't ignore demands for a larger caliber rifles by troops. SF teams have been saying that for a even longer time about how much this has been needing done.
