6.8 Western. Supposed to put the 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 PRC out to pasture. What say y’all?

First I have heard of it. Will do a little research.

Marketing hype.
Ironically, Winchester has basically redesigned the WSM case to be like the Remington SAUM case. The biggest difference is that you can now get .277 caliber barrels with fast twist rates to stabilize long, heavy high BC bullets.
Remington had the better case design 20 years ago when the short magnums were introduced, but the WSM won out because the were first to the market, had a little more speed and better marketing than Remington, as usual.

The 6.8 Western is essentially a slightly shorter 7mm WSM but with a longer neck. (Granted, there's a slight difference in bullet diameter). Those original Winchester Short Magnums were not widely accepted and this new one won't be either. The 6.5 Creedmoor will continue to lead in 2021 as the most popular USA hunting round.

Doubt that. I currently have gundoc building me a 270 wsm with a 1:8.5” twist barrel. I’ll be able to sling 150plus grainers out there long way. All they basically did was put a faster barrel on an existing caliber.
