I agree. If the 6.8SPC and 6.5 Grendel are still very quiet on the defense front, relatively speaking, what chance has 6.8x45 or 7.62x40? And the same applies to Dale's "Sharp's .25." If Remington didn't set the hunting world afire with it's .30 AR, what chance this new one he mentioned?
The only thing going for these rounds is the sheer gazillions of Americans riding the AR bandwagon. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Sorry about that. My take on this round is that it's a nice idea if it catches on, but little chance in reality. I think there have been a number of cartridges aimed (pun intended) at giving the AR more oomph, but few have really succeeded. OTOH, if the US military were to adopt a better round for their M16/M4s, that would be the push to make things happen in the civilian world. Just my 2 cents. Harvey |
Eventually some of them are going to get either bored or disgusted with the .223.
