FMJ yaw and upset performance

[stanc]

Any military among Western Nations will give a crap about what projectile design Wolf uses in the civilian market, as far as consideration for adoption as a military cartridge goes. If anyone in NATO starts to look at the Grendel seriously, it will be with the understanding that they will spend considerable resources on RDT&E for a dedicated line of standard, tracer, AP, and blank cartridges with specific requirements...

Of course. But to reach that point, IMO first it must be shown that 6.5 Grendel is capable of sufficient performance with military-type ball projectiles to be worth considering for further development and possible adoption. The Wolf FMJ load offers the opportunity to see how close theory and reality match up.

On the other hand, countries in that region close to Wolf production may be watching development of steel-cased Grendel ammunition, based on economics, logistics, and so forth. 5.56 is gaining more and more favor among Eastern Europeans and Central Asians for individual weapons, but the Grendel might rear its head in other platforms, and thus, my shameless plug for LMG again...

Well, don't just make a plug. Grendelize an RPD.
