supposing (as unlikely as it is) the 6.5 grendel was adopted as the new cartridge of the armed services. What bullet do you think they'd adopt as the 'service' load. Every bullet since (correct me if I'm wrong) the adoption of the ~150 gr. FMJBT in 30-06 has been FMJBT. Who besides lapua, an expensive and foreign bullet maker makes a .264" FMJBT bullet that would give a loaded 6.5 grendel an OAL of sub-2.25". If no bullet like that exists, are there any bullets commercially availible that would have similar light cover penetration like an FMJBT?
As a followup I heard sierra was initially reluctant to do a cannalure run of the 77gr smk. Supposing the military didn't touch 6.5 grendel, how many bullets would have to be preordered before they'd do a run of the smk 107 gr. w/ cannalure would you guess?
