Thats the new office of procurement request for infantry weapons
the article says USSOCOM, i'm not saying you are wrong
i'm saying that whatever I read was specific about army.
this doesn't mean you need to do "....." and reaffirm your view
it means we have different sources
No i agreed with you.
The army put out for selection process a 6.5mm in an infantry rifle
6.5 spc is one option floating around
ok, i misread that then. apologies
6.5 creedmoor is pointless
ooga booga i have a sling
who wants to get rocked
Like literally pointless to adopt
6.5 grendal as a standard issue makes sense...
But creedmoor as a sniper rifleš¤£ give me a fucking breakš¤£
Like your marginal improvement over 7.62 NATO is pointless as a sniper...When you should be using a fucking .300 win mag in the first place
A .338 magnum lapua is a good sniper
@Duke of Mecklenburg late reply: 6.5 CM being useless Not really, decent ballistics, better CE, half the recoil of 7.62. Also helps streamline military supply if they switch to a 6.5 infantry rifle. So in that it does have some logic to it.
6.5 creedmoor will NEVER be a standard issue infantry rifle cartridge
@MadLarkin
6.5 Grendal might
Thats what i was saying
Army has an open contract for a 6.5mm round for an infantry rifle
Why use the 6.5 as a sniper round? Its mediocre as all hell...the 300wm is already the standard sniper cartridge which has double the effective range
The grendal and the creedmoor use different bullets tho
The grendal doesnt use the 143
Grain
It uses 120
Its not ment to snipe. Its a designated marksmens round
The creedmoor is a definite improvement over the .308, but still
I could understand if it's used in an AR-10 platform
what's so good about the creedmoor?
Creedmoor as the DMR or sub 900m round, and another 6.5/8mm for new infantry rifles
Not much.... Its bullet just has a good ballistic coefficient so it's better than .308/7.62nato
@galesteppes light as fuck recoil
8ish ftlbs
Good BC, does decent out to 1k if you had to
So it's a round with a bit more impact than 5.56 but not as much recoil as 7.62?
No
It's nealy just as powerful as 7.62
please enlighten me
