You seem to be under a fundamental misconception.
SIG is not "pushing" the 6.8mm bullet to the military.
The Army required developers to use a 6.8mm bullet.
No stanc you seem to be trying to pick apart my post and play on words.
I said if they had tested it with a 6.5mm bullet they would be trying to sell it to the military as a 6.5mm instead of 277 cal.
As far as the 6.8 comment on muzzle velocity. Muzzle velocity don't mean spit if your throwing a ballistic potato shaped bullet.
