That (what calibre) You have returned preference, 5,56õ45/7,62õ39 or You (either as I ;)) consider that necessary half-way calibre that that like "6,5" to and return was at a rate of 223 and destructive power was at a rate of 7,62. But can such work are already, for instance 6,8SPC? Here is else accuracy was beside 6,8 as beside 223 was splendid

6.8 SPC imo would be the best (ballisticall) for a good mix of accuracy and energy downrange

is footyumpire running another joke thread here?


If you're serious, I think both the 6.8 SPC and 6.5 Grendel are promising cartridges for the AR15/M16 platform.  I'm awaiting more data from the 16" Grendel before I decide to put money into one.

I think someone is screwing around. There are like 5 threads on the first page started by people that absolutely cannot speak or write english.


- rem

System: Mauser Model 98

Caliber: 8X57JS

Next question.............

I think the guy is sincere, and probably Russian, so his English isn't the best.

For my part, Mihalich, I'll say that you can find info and a forum on the 6.5 Grendel here: www.65grendel.com.

Bear in mind that a lot of people for whom English is a second language tend to unconciously use the grammatical rules for their native language when speaking English.

The Reserved gentlemen! I long ago here was not, did not see discussion given themes. So happened we with the other yesterday saws beer hese
And apologize for its ugly english. The Translation "online translator" so such stupid mistakes..

On subject. Personally me to like both systems, about advantage which is already described plenty of. But I consider AR15 on step professional than any Kalashnikov. AK more approaches as weapon of the self-defense (as shotgun for instance, inexact but destructive and reliable) but for professional (rather then slave) to armies more approaches the more exact weapon on which possible any time put(deliver) the optometrist. But 90% all AK47 have a no planks with side for installing the sight. About than here possible else speak? I think that point in this problem will put(deliver) the calibre "6,5,6,7,8" with such high velocity either as beside 223, his(its) accuracy, and resistance to herb as beside 7,62. And weapon to choose and buy how do I seem it is necessary coming from that in what country you live if on arms cost(stand)s 223, it is necessary to have a weapon under it conversely.

Here is such my thoughts.. hy.gif

Me so horny, me love you long time...

Translators have a long way to go...

But I think I follow what you are saying.

My preference is the 6.8 SPC.  It has flight ballistics similar to 7.62x51 (NATO) and shows good terminal ballistic performance in it's common loads (Remmingon 110gr OTM and Silver State 115gr TMJ) (the rounds yaw early then fragment violently).  But as this round is expensive, I won't be shooting it as often as my 5.56 AR-15s.

I like the flight ballistics of the 6.5 Grendle, but what little has been shown of it's terminal ballistics the rounds currenlty yaw later than optimal.

However most of my shooting is still done with the 5.56 (either 55gr FMJ or 75gr OTM).

I believe the latest 5.56mm cartridge, the Mk 262 77grain is enough of an improvement over the M855 in both accuracy, range and effectiveness at 300 yards that it negates the need  for the development of a 6.8mm or larger cartridge for other than SOCOM, who can have anything they want anyway.

The Mk 262 has proved so effective that there is a good chance it will become the next standard issue munition for 5.56mm weapons for the regular armed forces. The USMC has been making noises about transitioning to the Mk 262 exclusively for their M16A4s.

The problem with 6.8mm SPC is it would require an upgrade of all Bolts, Barrels and magazines. While that may seem not like a lot, it could well approach the cost of the initial weapon system by the time you consider inventories of spares, upgrades and new defense contract needs. That is not even looking at the costs of the new ammunition procurement and distribution. DoD may not feel it is justified to spend millions on what is an aged (Though well proven) platform simply to accomodate a new caliber, when the Mk262 is performing so well. I don;t know that 6.8mm has ever benn considered for anyting more than the SOCOM community by the Pentagon.

So in that light the Mk 262 is looking very good.

The Mk 262 Mod 0 (top left) progressed to Mod 1 with the addition of a cannelure and some other small changes.

Privet, and welcome to this board. I myself am a fairly new member. I speak a little russian also, if you need any help. Personally, I like the stats of the 6.8 spc, but honestly I have yet to do anything other than hold one.... Could someone post the link to ammo oracle as well? I can't think of the link off of the top of my head.

The ideal calliber is inexpensive as well as effective.  6.8 and 6.5 are not inexpensive yet.  Still prefer 5.56 75 grain ammo in the meantime.

No it's expensive you are right. Not likely to be as cheap as XM193 until it starts until demand goes way down. Like 10 years. But consider that it is match quality ammo so the price may never go down.
