OK, apologize for the rant. My theories are still unproven. I'm discussing, not arguing. Respect Harrison's firearms experience and always defer to Paul's military experience. I truly don't know how a 65G 120gr combat round would compare in head-to-head testing with Russian 7.62x54R 147gr of similar construction.
My thinking is that if we get lit up by a PKM, we can still match their RANGE and trajectory and winddrift with a 65G, even if our 120gr doesn't hammer as hard as their 147gr (and even that's up for debate because either a 120gr or a 147gr between the eyes is a bad day, and high SD bullets hold promise for good penetration vs. even bullets that weigh more). We still keep their heads down until we laze their range and burst a new 35mm grenade on their skulls. In the meantime, we've got lighter, more compact weapons and ammo. When their PKM runs out of ammo, we've still got twice as much for the weight and bulk. Viable?
