Our military adopting the Grendel?

[LRRPF52]

The Grendel has already proven to be able to take bolt-gun pressures, as I mentioned that my friend runs the 139gr Scenars at 2700fps out of a Cz527. The 6.5 projectiles beat .277 projectiles when it comes to BC/weight, as it takes 250fps more with a 140gr .277 VLD to match a 6.5 VLD at 1000yds. 6.5mm= more efficiency, so we can get away with less pressures for better performance. A 6.5x43 would require a longer action, whereas the Grendel case is of course shorter. Either one would offer advantages for the LMG concept I speak of, but no further case-development is required with the Grendel, while the SPC already relies on high pressures.

Developing cases and developing links are two different things. Of course links can be made for the Grendel. The interest just needs to be generated in the right circles.
