RE: May you live in interesting times...or in Pittsburgh!
Yes, the .223 leaves the wounded combat effective. THAT is the base problem with the .223! Unacceptable!
Our Brave soldiers need a Combat Rifle that has serious knock down power, so they can safely do their jobs!

sir smithlabs! does the United States companies have a battle rifle that you think they should adapt, one that could be used right now or do we have to wait years to develop one?
The existing M-16 could be directly changed into a 6.5 mm grendel by just changing the upper unit.
:)>sir smithlabs! well then why don't they just do that? Or is anyone talking about changing our standard rifle, do they know it needs changed?
They are looking. I think the 6.8mm has the best chance. Good round, easy changeover!
Thankfully, they are actively looking now! I am mildly interested in the 300 backout myself.
