Okay, I'm going to take one last shot at this topic. Some people, John perhaps foremost among them, consider 6.5 Grendel capable of replacing both 5.56 and 7.62 NATO. Others, like Tony, think a slightly larger, more powerful 6.5mm cartridge will be needed, but that 6.5 Grendel could serve as a test vehicle.
It is my position that there is insufficient data to confirm either premise, and therefore shooting tests should be done. I would gladly undertake such testing myself, but no longer possess the physical ability to do so. If any Grendel shooters with requisite guns and ammo would care to participate, following are the tests I'd like to see done, and results posted in this thread.
P.S. Please do not waste thread space by posting objections to the proposed tests. If anybody would prefer to do other tests, please feel free to do them and report the results.
