Whether PPU has upped the pressure for the Serb military is yet to be disclosed. All the previous information indicated the performance was very similar to the 6.5 Grendel.
Possible, but I quote the article:Serbian soldier with M17 in DMR configuration (source)Interestingly, it appears that the rifle is now chambered in a proprietary cartridge, 6.5×38.7mm, rather than the original 6.5×39 mm Grendel cartridge. The new round has been developed by Serbias Prvi Partizan, an ammunition manufacturer. The new round reportedly has better ballistic characteristics, with a flatter trajectory and more kinetic energy on target out to 800m, according to the Serbian Ministry of Defense.
It could possibly be the same as the 300 Whisper and 300 BO, but it could also have a much higher pressure value unsuitable for AR Grendel platforms.
