>it’s up in the air if the cartridge is actaulyl nerfed or not .

Well by nerfed, I mean “performing at a level far below the cartridge’s potential”. Like shooting a 50BMG out of a 7” barrel, making maybe 3000ft*lbs. and in that way, yes 6.8x51 is nerfed. Picrel. Peep the (in)efficiency on the bottom right corner. I only estimated a 1.2” bullet length. Same bullet from a 20” barrel goes 266fps faster and with 480ft*lbs more energy. Yeah I’d say that’s pretty nerfed. That’s ~20% more energy over a mere 7 inch barrel length increase.
