Either cartridge — 6.5x40 or 6.5 Grendel — would pretty much satisfy what I've been asking for in a military cartridge: compact case, high BC bullet. Of course, all claims would have to be objectively tested. Pretty sure the 6.5x40, as LR said, is not gonna "smoke" the 65G in any respect, particularly when you're looking at the protrusion of the projectile into the smaller diameter case.
Regarding the "superior" case taper that is often trotted out to compare the 6.8 case to the 65G: Do you see it in the photo? It might be there "mathematically," but to the naked eye, there's hardly a dime's worth of difference.
Stan, I'm still not worried about the 65G case in machine-gun links, reference the RPD.
At any rate, the gears of change are slowly grinding toward the correct solution that we've known all along, as more and more "invent" what was obvious to The Horde eleven years ago.
