This is a classic example of the phrase that jack O'Connor coined in 1962. "New cartridges are like new jokes!"
I just can't get behind this one.
And No Larry you are not wrong about forming the cases. Only thing they have in common is the rim dia.

I suspect the target market for this cartridge is in the states that restrict hunting to straight wall cartridges only. Given the popularity of the AR platform it isn’t surprising to see all sorts of new cartridges designed to specifically work in an AR.
If we look back historically after WW2 when there was a glut of milsurp rifles on the market there were all sorts of cartridges that were introduced that made use of the existing rifles. It’s just history repeating itself. Only time will tell which cartridges live on, and which’s one are truly a fad.
Personally I enjoy new calibers and the effort that goes into working up the loads, and have enjoyed reading the OP’s results!
