Actually, it was the SF operators who, on their own time, began developing the 6.8mm SPC round. Some on the team even spent their own money on the project. I'm sure they talked to some reloaders and hunters, though. They only approached Remington and Winchester when they were already quite far along the way.
"Stay Safe LC !"
I sure will! I'm finally back from deployment, and our whole squadron made it back safe and sound, no casualties OR dead airplanes. That's after six months in five different sites all over the globe, in addition to ENDURING FREEDOM.
I'm gonna respectfully disagree with that....Glad ya got back OK ! Thanks for taking your turn in the barrel. If only more patriots were.
STAY SAFE !
