The 6.5 Grendel, like the 7.62X39, looks a little fat to me for optimal use in this action, although it's looking great on paper.

After researching the 6.5 Grendel,
I was very impressed as it is superior
to the .308 in long distance knockdown.

6.5 seems to be the optimal caliber.

Thank you for the research.

That 6.5 Grendel certainly gets the job done at long range. That is exactly what is lacking right now, too.
Wonder what the logistics plan for a caliber change actually is, at this point.

The story I heard was that folks like Ike and Patton wanted the M-1 to shoot a 6.5 or 6.2 but MacArthur (in a famous first use of the phrase "politically correct") overruled them stating the gummint had way too much 30-06 in warehouses to develop a rifle that didn't shoot it.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Oh, and where is .308 on that chart? 7.62x39 is AK ammo.
