I just need cartridges that are cool. Like the 6.5 Grendel. Almost perfect. Yeah, you could argue maybe the neck could have been just 0.040 shorter and the shoulder pushed that much forward for a touch more powder capacity or the case just 0.020 longer and still feed something like a Berger VLD at 2.280 COL, but it is as damn good a cartridge design for use in the AR platform as any ever made.
224 Valkyrie is pretty good, but not cool enough because they could have used the Grendel case. I say that because the Grendel case is the fattest you can possibly go and still fit a reliable-feeding double-stack within the external dimensions of standard AR magazines. OK? Not trying to be a fanboy here. This is a technical point.
The 6mm Grendel I described is another example of perfection. And because of that it is cool. Now, you could argue there is no need to make concessions for the 6mm Berger 105 Hybrid at 2.290 COL, and then its dimensions would change slightly, but as it is, it is the 6mm AR design to beat.
