Quite well, actually.

7.62x51 has been a pretty decent GPMG cartridge. More importantly, its drawbacks as a rifle round, together with the shortcomings of the M14, helped lead to development and adoption of 5.56x45 and the M16. All of which eventually resulted in creation of 6.5 Grendel.

If the US had adopted the 7x43 British and the FAL, as some people wish had occurred, there might never have been any motivation to develop the 5.56 cartridge and the AR15 rifle. No 5.56 NATO and no AR15, means no 6.5 Grendel. :eek:
