If the ammo is rare and expensive, none of the other features really matter I think. It’ll be prohibitive to stock up, expensive to practice, and impossible to find in the “zombie apocalypse”. I’m poor and stupid, though, so maybe I just don’t know what I’m talking about. I just want to have the most common and accessible calibers in each category so I can keep a good bit on hand and not stress every time I’m loading a mag. Some calibers, I’m just thinking “shit, there goes $15 on one mag”.

[@NamSandwich1]

Additionally, it failed SAMMI spec the first time around. You buy any 8.6 barrel and the manufacturer says hey, if you shoot non SAMMI spec, we can't warranty the barrel. Well it's not currently SAMMI spec. Additionally, it's not an accurate enough round to ethically shoot animals at DOUBLE the .300blk range this caliber claims to be replacing. Haven't mentioned the expensive and hard to find ammo. With Hornady releasing .338 ARC, this may not even take off. Kevin will of course, disagree.
