Met an Army Sniper in between tours who sold me a Glock working at the local gun shop this weekend. He said they use .308 bolt and M-16 exclusively unless they need to shoot through a car or cinder block then they use 50mm. I asked why they don’t use a .300 win mag and he said the Army is converting over to them soon. FWIW
