It's usually a waste of time to ask people who are emotionally and/or financially invested in their pet cartridge for ideas on how to make a better cartridge.
Okay. In Guardsman's most recent post he gave specifics on desired performance. If, as postulated, those goals cannot be achieved with 6.5 Grendel, would the notional "6.5 Super G" provide a sufficient MV increase to accomplish them?
In its current guise, no. BUT....with a SuperPerformance powder, that might be changed.
Someone would have to pick a currently nonexistant projectile and develop a powder designed specifically for that powder, like Hornady did with the Amax, and it might be doable. BUT...no one has a reason to do so.
As for loadout weight, what is the Grendel cartridge weight currently vs .308? And 70% using which version of 7.62x51, M118? or ?
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
