Yep. Lots of problems with new tech. That's the problem with new innovations. It takes interest, time, money and resources to perfect/improve upon.
Argument about leaving brass on the battlefield is an old one as well. Somewhere I have an Infantry Journal from the '40's (maybe early '50's) with an article that covers that. There also use to be an argument about not giving the infantryman semi-auto rifles as he would waste ammo.
Got it. You're a fan of a cartridge designed in the 1940's. They didn't, so the point is moot. Is the 6.5G the next mil cartridge? Maybe, but I doubt it. Again, we must look at identified desired capabilities.

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.
