Too early to tell if it will be successful. IMO it will be hyped for awhile, it will called the best thing since sliced bread and in a year or two it will be relegated to the boutique round market. Too many new rounds trying to do the same thing. The only "AR-15" round that broke out into the mainstream, that was specifically designed for the AR-15, that IMO has become a standard offering from AR-15 manufacturers is the 300BLK. Hell there is a factory 300BLK Tavor.
With companies like POF cramming the .308/6.5 Creedmore into an AR-15 sized platform which is as light as an standard 5.56 AR-15 and with recoil that isn't bad, talk of a new "long distance" AR-15 round can get lost in the noise. Why spend thousands on a boutique round when you can buy a POF AR-15 (yes that is right, AR-15 not a AR-10) that can shoot 308 from standard 308 mags.
