.223 on steroids? Why do you say that? I was under the impression that the 6.5 Grendel was the .223 replacement from Alexander Arms and the .50 Beowulf was done as an intellectual exercise to push the limits of the ar-16/15 platform.

look at the picture of the rounds side by side ....the .50 beowolf case is tiny in comparison to a .30-06 or even a .308.

I am not a fan of the platform. I dont hate black guns, on the contrary....but they are not for me.

I would rather have the M-14 platform or the FN FAL platform with a round that can both stop something/someone and reach and and do it at range.....
