Over on the gun forums (pick one) watching all the 5.56 fan boys blustering. “The 5.56 is a perfectly good round! Been used for decades!”
Then why does the DoD keep trying to improve on it? From the 55grn, to the 62grn, to the 77grn, and then the Army spent millions of dollars on the EPR to overcome the deficiencies of the 5.56, that line was actually in a EPR brief.
And now, the military is looking at the 6.8.
Personally I dont understand why the 6.8SPC.
There are a number of the newer 6.5s out there that outperform the 6.8SPC in nearly every category.
There are a number of chamberings out there that I would like to have, but cannot afford the chase the round of the month club.
I will stick to the .308WIN. Lots of it out there, cheap to reload, and it does a good 90% of what I need it to do. I am not shooting out past 600yrds.
