Tactical Life posts that the military is changing to the 6.8 in SAW and M4

6.5 Grendel...21st Century.
308 and M14...20th Century.

LOL. I see you left out the M16/AR15, since it would be a bit awkward in your 21st Century/20th Century comparison.

Don't trouble me with the facts, Klem. I've already made up my mind!

I'm not saying that .308 WIN/7.62 NATO is the best rifle cartridge ever. Just that I'm a traditionalist, and like .30 caliber better than any other.

I grew up watching World War II and Korean War movies. The first military rifles I shot were the M1 carbine, M1 Garand, and M1941 Johnson.

And my high school ROTC unit had a M1919A6 LMG, which I thought was awesome!

As a result of all that, calibers smaller than .30 have always seemed a little...wrong.
