I like the lower working pressure of 6.5 Grendel and see it as a major advantage over higher pressure systems, especially in a military context looking at critical component life.
You could still engineer a rifle around it from the start, but don't chase pressure when you have BC already. They have pushed 5.56 way too hard from the start, always wanting more, more, more, when a better case design with longer ogive length could have solved their retained momentum desires.
BC gives you a lot of room to work with on the back end, rather than trying to milk performance out of the front.
