'Cuz even women can fire it accurately.
Seems like something in the 30.30 class would be more appropriate.
You wanna lug around 210 rounds (infantryman's basic load) of 30-30?! It would leave little margin for grenades, mortar rounds and water....
What I meant to say in referring to the 30.30 was it’s terminal ballistics, not the cartridge itself. If I were in the sandbox, I would want a cartridge that will put at least 1000 ft/lbs on target at 300 to 400 yards.
The 6.8x43 SPC and the 6.5 Grendel seem to be heading in the right direction.
