Article say the 6mm ARC is a replacement for the 7.62x51 or 308. That is not what I thought, I was expecting it to be replacing a 5.56.
"I learned that a yet unrevealed DoD entity adopted the 6mm ARC for combat operations as a replacement for the 7.62x51mm NATO, (.308 Winchester in civilian terms)"

I'm wondering what weapon system is getting the ax.
Or it could be bad info went into the web article.
