RStewart,
You are so right Sir, there always will be better and disagreements. And If one reads between the Lines I am not a die hard 5.56mm fan but, I don't bash it either it is a fine cartridge. Given the choice I would carry a M14 bigger in my opinion is ways better, is it a perfect fit ...by all means ..NO. The Grendel does have may fine points I honestly do not trust that it would get a fair shake in the Trials if one was held today.
My opinion and experiance does not mean that someone here is wrong (as MANY have served they just don"t mention it )that have differant opinions or experiances than I. Heck my father a Viet Nam Vet talks about the M16 (not a1 guys the orginal) bullet being deflect by a wet leaf in SE Asia. Does the current bullet do the same NOPE. My post is not the end all be all opinions. Prior to Desert Storm and my deployments since 9/11 I would have been in TOTAL agreement with Montana and several others I hated the 5.56mm prior to using it real world.
