How could or should the 6.5 mm Grendel be improved?

Pehaps they have something else other than the 6.8 SPC to push, but either way I still have a strong spidey tingle about how the whole thing is presented. It has agenda written all over it the way it has been presented to us so far.

Without the actual performance requirements, we could chase our tails forever and we'd never get anywhere.

Well, Guardsman is clearly not pushing the 6.8 SPC, so bringing it into this discussion seems like a large red herring. Perhaps that accounts for the fishy smell Joe noticed?

IIRC, the TSWG was advocating the 6.8 SPC as a successor for 5.56 NATO back in 2008 or earlier. Don't know what relevance that has to the current interest in a GPC to replace 7.62 NATO. :confused:
