Quote:Trouble is, it appears very unlikely that anybody will want to use a lead-core bullet.
The trend in Western countries is to "green" bullets, and Eastern Europe seems likely to use conventional steel-core projectiles. I'm skeptical that weights of such bullets could, in practical designs, exceed 110-120gr. So, if the MRLMG requires 130gr or heavier projectiles, 6.5 Grendel does not look like a viable choice.
Finland and Serbia both manufacture lead core bullets, and a healthy line of 6.5mm projectiles from both countries for the 6.5 Swede and Grendel. A Lapua and/or Prvi Partizan FMJBT is all that is needed.
