One of the main driving factors of the 6mm SAW is that they wanted beyond 800m effective range and tracer burn.
Nothing in the .224 bore could provide that for them at the time, hence the need for increased projectile mass/volume.
They wanted effective range more like 7.62 NATO, but with cartridge carrying capability, maneuverability, and recoil more like 5.56 NATO.
