Had a question on this.
while we are mostly in agreement that we need to move to a 6.5mm cartridge, there is some question as to whether we stay with the current M4 platform thus using a round like the 6.5 Grendel (6.5x39) or go to a longer round like the 6.5x45. Or do we go to something new like a 6.5mm CT round?
And do we also go to a .338 round like the .338LM (8.59x70) or .338NM (8.59x63) in a MG that then allows the .50 M2 to be retired?
