Alternative to 6.5 Grendel?

[Tony Williams]

The problem with holding down COL to a minimum is that you are liable to end up without enough space to load long-ogive bullets. This problem affects the 5.56x45, 7.62x51 and even the .338 Lapua Magnum (which is why the .338 Norma Magnum was developed). This won't matter in short-range weapons but it surely does if you want a decent long-range performance.
