Start phasing out 5.56 and send in packages with the Grendel uppers/mags/ammo. All the research on the round is done and it flat out works. Why waste millions on R&D when they could spend the millions having uppers/mags/ammo produced and everybody is already familiar with the platform.
If we're sticking with metallic cartridges, I don't want to get rid of 5.56 NATO. I really wish we had the 5.45x39 case to work with using .224 or 6mm projectiles out of it. That would allow more BC to be realized due to the amount of ogive length available.
Have DMs shooting Grendel, and a 6.5mm Lightweight LMG that is belt-fed. I'd prefer to have the LSAT with 6.5mm projectiles and the weight reduction.
Add a 6.5mm long gun for ELR like they're already working on. The main thing is to slowly phase out Albatross.62 NATO.
