I heard about this caliber called the 6.5 Grendel made by Alexander Arms. OMG it looks like the best assault rifle caliber that could replace the 5.56. it uses 39mm of powder and weighs about he same as the 556. but it has twice the stopping power, twice the range and same if not better accuracy. Its the bullet design it was designed to move through the air better than current rounds. Can you tell me more about it like wat guns are available that fire it.

39mm of powder?


Case capacity is about 30 grns (Depending on the powder)

Depends on the loads but generally most stay supersonic past 1k yards.
