New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[LRRPF52]

What if you could increase hit probability, reduce wind deflection & trajectory, with a lighter projectile that has way less recoil, and exceed M80 or 7.62x54R terminal energy beyond 300yds all in the same ball of wax?

Oh yeah, we've kicked that horse before.

You could even drop the pressures and go with a 2500fps mv and still smoke it.
