It is no easy task to do.For sure. I wish we had test data to compare 5.56 M855A1 with the same type of bullet in 6.5 Grendel. Unfortunately, published test info on 5.56 M855A1 is negligible, and the 6.5 version is apparently (and understandably) a "back burner" project with AA at present. It may be years before we can get anything close to a definitive comparison and evaluation.
