looks like an ak round plus 1mm of case. nothing new. I would like so see someone make a middle of the road round based on the case dimensions of the .224 Weatherby Mag minus the belted case in 6.5, but I guess the 6.5x47 Lapua kinda has done that.

If you don't care about subs, want 7.62x39 equivalent performance out of an SBR, and think standard AR parts (bolts/mags) compatibility is important, this is a good option to consider. Superior performance to 5.56 SBRs.

Really?? Another necked up 223 cal, this one seems to max out at 150 gr, the 300 blackout will do all that WT will and then some more, to me anyway.
