Weird new FN America LICC in 6.5x43. Out of left field.

Looks a ton like Grendel, but with a stainless steel case. LICC rifle uses a "midsized" receiver, long stroke gas piston, 3-lug bolt, non-recip side charging handle, and 25rd Magpul polymer mags.

My understanding is that it uses a 0.47" diameter base like the 308. It is closer to a 6.5mm version of the 6mm GT or .280 British.
