But, like everyone else who says, "If .276 Pedersen had been adopted, 5.56 never would have," he is wrong.
The same factors that led to 5.56 replacing 7.62 NATO, would have resulted in 5.56 replacing .276 Pedersen.
I know,I know but I'll say it again, it is subjective LOL. I will have to agree with you on this one. The effectiveness and advantages of the smaller cartridges such as the 5.56 would have been the natural path to follow. I know I would have rather used the smaller and handier T3E2 Garand in WW2 if given the choice but with out the gas trap.
