Should the 6.5 Grendel replace the 5.56x45?

It should probably replace the 7.62x51 for most things.

It should replace both 5.56 and 7.62x51. Then the army needs to adopt 6.5 Creedmoor for sniper rifles, .357 Sig for handguns and submachine guns.

No.

Ultrafaggot.

grendel is supposed to have flatter trajectory and more velocity at the same ranges as a 7.62, definitely would consider for dmr.

>Can you convince all other NATO counties to replace their 5.56 weapons too?
If the answer is no, then no. STANAG is less relevant today but is still a consideration.

>>34022870
Its not worth the cost and effort. If you were starting a non-NATO nation from scratch? Maybe.

6.5mm Cased Telescoping is interesting though and has merit.
