#1 So there is a chink in the 5.56mm's armor, now. Good. May the best cartridge, upper receiver win - as selected by the people whose asses are on the line.

#2 I also think the 6.5mm "Grendel" will be better, because the higher ballistic coefficient also adds up to higher sectional density, which will be more important in a world with cheap and readily available body armor.

#3 GREAT! The civilian version may be available to celebrate the next New Years.
