Army goes to new ammo

[Geardo]

Not familiar with 6.5 ballistics, but POF makes an AR in 300WM if that works for ya

Too rich for my blood!

The new ammo cant' be reloaded and is made of polymer, they will get rid of brass cases. You might ponder that when they put together a sporting rifle with this ammo.

Is that the same polymer that's choking the life out of the oceans?

I would love something with 6.5 creedmore ballistics tucked inside an ar15 size rifle!

You can get a 6.5 creedmore upper for a AR-308 platform.

or just settle for a grendel with a hot load

Did some research and come to find out this new ammo is $12.98 a round VS .37cents a round for 556 WTF how stupid is this

Sound just like the way the government thinks...new math?

I've often thought that the next step might be a molded powder charge that didn't need a case. You wouldn't need to eject anything because the case itself would be burnt up.

If they discontinue the M-16/M-4 they will either sell the surplus, use it up in training, or destroy it. My take is they destroy it for political reasons.

I thought this was tried by HK? Problem is lack of heat removal if I recall correctly .

Most problems can be overcome eventually.
