Don't forget that a lot of these "Hornady or XXX sold it to the military" cartridges are special runs for trials, for Joint Special Ops Command, and the JSSAP, who are still working on the NGSW programs with the SIG, Textron and GD and etc, 30cal, 6mm, 6.5mm & 6.8 stuff to develop for the Army/Marines, who both want something different than each other. They are trying out all kinds of stuff down there, to see if they can find anything that hits the balance they want. Couple of yrs from now, those who didn't clear the hurdles of the trials, which also need to be adopted by NATO, will be gone. How well they'll catch on in the civilian market before their acceptance or demise????? Quite possible some will not be released to civilian market down the road.
Nice part at the moment is, in the JSOC arena, they have places to go and use them in real life practical applications, to see if they'll do the job needed to be done, or not.
