I would definitely consider it for a long range gun.
I don't think it will be a major player but everyone likes different things. The reason I made one 10 years ago was to practice long range shooting. I shoot by myself so I don't have a spotter calling shots. There is very little recoil so I can watch the impact on steels or P dogs when it's 300yds +. Turned out to be a great P dog and yote round too. 55s hit 3400+, 62-64s 3300+ 80s 3000fps all out of a 20" barrel. I think the Valkyrie has less case capacity so it isn't as fast.

The 6.8 is the best choice for hunting deer and hogs with an AR15.
