Grendel as a Universal Infantry Cartridge

[cory]

Did you not say that the Wolf ammo is 10k psi below SAAMI spec? Bill said it tested at ~50k psi. You can't both be right.

As I previously noted, a year and a half ago Bill posted that Barnaul planned to use a 100gr -- not 110gr -- steel-core FMJBT bullet. Weight of the current bullet is unchanged from that of 2012.

Try again.

As you so elegantly like to point out to us, you should read the post again.

Is that a serious question? Which military loading for either of those platforms is 10ksi below their SAAMI Spec?

This load may be a 50ksi load. However, QL shows us that 2600fps with a 100gr projectile can be had with a different powder at 39ksi (theoretically). Therefore there is 10+ksi that has been left on the table. That is not the case for the loads you want to compare it to.
