Stan:
I talked with Roberts at length numerous times over the phone and as I can recall, AA did not submit a Grendel or ammo for that series of tests. And yes, at that time -- three or four years ago I believe -- the 6.8 performed better in jel than the issued ammo. That should not have been a surprise as the 6.8 that was tested was designed for CQB and you won't find many small arms cartridges differing to any significant degree in ballistics to 300 meters.
I recall the heated debates with him on the last forum with the continual implications that he skewed the testing and results in favor of the 6.8. I do not think he even played a role in the test protocols or the final report.
