So, is this round dead or not? It seems to have a small cult following, but parts and uppers are getting scarce for it. The days of cheap 6.8 uppers is apparently over too. Regardless of whether I build or buy one, the upper alone would be over $600. I know the 6.5 Grendel outshines it for long range shooting, but I felt that it was a good alternative to 5.56 for hunting and defense.

Certainly not dead. If you going to go 6.8, why not build and install an ARP barrel? Great barrel for the money. Every ARP barrel I've used is shoot .5 MOA. I've got 6.8 in ARP, PSA and LWRC. ARP is the most accurate of the three.
