Default 6.8 SPC ???

Have any of you had any experience with this new round? All of the new calibers of the past few years have not really interested me, but I have been reading about this new 6.8 SPC that our Special Forces have devoloped, and are experimenting with. It is basically a .270 short, the same overall length of the .223/5.56, so as to fit the AR's. The exception is that it has the 5.56's muzzle energy out to almost 300 yards! I know that our military would probably prefer the extra stopping power in combat situations. Winchester, and Remmington are about to chamber hunting guns in 6.8 SPC. To me it should be a great deer stopper, along the lines of the light recoiling 7MM-08! This one seems to have caught my attention more than the other new calibers have. Any experiences or theories out there?
