I don't think this one is really that much of a barrel burner its not that fast. 6.8 (30 Remington) case isn't that big. 2,700 fps or so at the muzzle is no screamer.
The standard 5.56 case using the long bullets you run out of room in magazine pretty quick. This is just using a fatter, shorter case so you can use the longer higher BC bullets in the length constraints of an AR. Since it's a 6.8 derived round you need a different bolt and the 6.8 specific mags will work better.
