The SAS were using the old m-193 in the Falklands. The military went to the 77gr. bullet for use in some operations out of the complaint of poor terminal effectiveness from the standard 62 gr bullet. The 77 gr bullet has been received with good feed back from the the field. I'm not a supporter of re-issuing the the 7.62 nato round for our standard caliber. I believe the 5.56 is still Superior, for the reasons you have stated. I do think we could improve on the M-855 round with the Grendel. I do enjoy these little discussions because you do know your facts and keep people like me thinking. The only true rifle caliber I dislike is the one I don't own. Montana.
