Did we do this one already?

I didn't quite catch the mag size. I thought he said 30rd, but looking at Geissele's site, they're 20rd (and $115 each). That puts your 210rd loadout at 140rd. The gun is also a lot more expensive than one of their 5.56 Super-Duty MOD1's.

I guess I'm feeling it looks nice if someone else is paying, but I'm not convinced to buy one.

Even if I was to convert one of my rifles to that cartridge, what is the ammo cost?

I doubt he would've mention the full mag round count.

YT are nazis about 30rd mags. Most youtubers just call them 29 round mags...

FWIW, Geissele DOES make a 30rd mag. It must have been out of stock when I checked previously or I just missed it. They have 4 6ARC mags:
30rd - $125
20rd - $115
15rd - $80
8rd - $70
