But it's shit tho. 6.5 mm is where it's at, specifically 6.5 Creedmoor

>>34475204
If it isn't 6.5x55 it is a meme.

All these people posting cartridges and not the only real answer

None of these are .276 Peterson

>>34475228
It's the same shit but better, at least in autos

>>34475240
Because 6.5 Creedmoor is more powerful and better at range, with similar recoil and size

>>34474998
>tfw we could have battle rifles in 6mm lee navy and assualt rifles in .280
damn;it burgers

>>34475263
6.5 meme more is still being produced and has a fan base. 276 Peterson was the cartridge that should have been adopted for the semi automatic rifle trials of the 1930s
Why are you even in this thread

>>34475322
To spread the word about God's gift to man, the 6.5 Creedmoor

This still lives on as the xm25, but the original concept died.

Not going to work on full auto for an carbine or lmg. Probably fun shit in a gpmg as long as you have a lot of spare barrels.

Not sure if there was ever a real working prototype, but I think this gun looks aesthetic as fuck.

Must have been thought up towards the end of the war, when 10 year old Hitler youths were in charge of designing weapons.

I guess the Maus, Lowe and Gustav were also designed by kids too.

Wow. We really fucked you guys on that one. What hurts the most, the fact that we could have had "7mm NATO" or that America adopted 5.56 only a decade later?
