So what would be a typical military round for the 6.5mm if the US (or any other country) would develop one? If we are going to compare to the M80 in 7.62 NATO, what would a similar round be like for 6.5mm? Has Bill Alexander, or anyone else, produced a sample of a round that would be typical of a military round in that caliber?
Any testing would have to be done with similar weapons. Therefore an M4 style platform (carbine with 16" barrel) for 5.56 NATO and 6.5 Grendel. Then a comparison of 7.62 NATO and 6.5mm Grendel in a 20" barreled weapon.
If the Grendel can not meet comparisons then what would be the best design parameters for a GPC that would compare favorable with the 5.56 AND 7.62?
