I like the .308 for pentrating body armor. Hornady made a tungsten core round for DoD that is sweet as all get out. You can kill an engine block with it too!

Thank you for cutting to the point.

Our troops are running into more enemy combatants wearing body armor and the 5.56 doesn't cut it, especially at a farther distances.
