Stan,
I was trying to be polite. I suggest you re-read the information.
Last I heard, we are exploring paths that reduce weight of loose and linked ammunition while maintaining the trajectory, wind drift, and barrier defeat capabilities in the 7.62X51 M80. Lethality might be allowed to slide a tad. This is different than demanding a "superior" trajectory.
Or perhaps I should answer with "Asking the question the way you did invites disaster by demanding the cartridge get so large as to be the same as the 7.62X51"
Unwise to demand "superior performance" in an area that is not the target of the exercise.
