I am project lead on 300 AAC BLACKOUT at AAC.
The 300 BLK and 6.5 could not be more opposites. While I see some merit in comparing 300 BLK to 6.8, I see little for comparing it to 6.5 - which is even longer range capable than 6.8.
I see 300 BLK as replacing the MP7, MP5, 10 inch barrel HK-416, Mk18, and for hunting and self-defense with an AR when you want 30 caliber bullets but don't want the size/weight, and expense of an AR10. The Remington UMC ammo coming out is just $12.99 a box MSRP. There is a lot of info at http://www.300blktalk.com
By the way, I like 260 a lot - I even designed a 260 barrel that headspaces easily on a Remington without needing a reamer:

Loki - I was not aware of your stock, but we did know about the Colt M231. We started our design around that but made the rails more like the HK MP5.
