Grendel LMG

[stanc]

Of course we would need to test. Before that, someone needs to design and fabricate steel-cored 6.5 bullets in the 100-120 gr weight range, develop safe loads and verify with load development testing. Then, at last, we could see if the Grendel might do as well.

Or, we could do comparison tests with the lead-core Norma 120gr FMJ vs 7.62x54R (or 7.62x51) lead-core FMJ. That would let us see how well Grendel can do now, instead of waiting years for someone to design and fabricate steel-core bullets, then develop and verify safe loads.

In the meantime, I'm happy with knowing that the Grendel is close and maybe good enough!

Personally, I'd rather see proof, than depend upon a maybe.
