my M468 needs a buddy

Good question. I guess if the military started requesting it they would do it.

I wish the military would start asking for the 6.5 Grendel, 260 Rem, or 6.5x284, instead though.

the 6.5 Grendel :?

I'd prefer the reach of the .300WSM, but I'm still happy with the good old 7.62mm NATO round. :?

The 6.5 Grendel would be totally sick in the SCAR light. The SCAR heavy can stay in the tried and true .308

Sadly, we are part of NATO and that means we will probably stick with the .223 for a long time to come.

Unless we throw a huge party, invite all the decision makers from each NATO country, get em' REALLY drunk and make them decide that the 6.5 Grendel is the new NATO round! :lol:

Great idea!

There is much magic in the 6.5 mm projectile, even as far back as the 6.5x55 Swedish, it's ballistics were outstanding. I still enjoy shooting my old M96/38.

To have a 6.5 in a modern arm would indeed be a wonderful thing.
