From what I can tell, they went with a more sane 62,000 psi rating, rather than Sig's absurd 80,000 PSI spec which was just asking for (and having) problems. Nobody seems to actually care or know about this gun and round, which is a shame, because to me, this is the one. Dump your .308's - this is the round of the future for that role - and then some.
As much as I like Grendel - this round and platform looks very exciting to me.

The .308 has been obsolete for decades for competitive purposes outside of Palma where it is still required. However, for the military it served its purpose.
Take my word for it, the guy shooting the rifle and humping the ammo probably doesn't care too much about the specifics of either outside of how much they weigh and how reliable they are.
