[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 100099, member: 2852"] [ QUOTE ] Another thing to think about is kill power. A 308 punches a bigger hole than a 6mm can. [/ QUOTE ] While this is true (at short range only), the 6 would still kill better than the 223 and it would actually penetrate steel better than a 308 if the correct bullet was used. The six would also have higher sectional density,better wind drift, kick less, and the soldiers would be able to carry more rounds per pound than they can with the 308. Seems easy to see a reason to challenge the 308 fans and their anthem that it's the best thing since sliced bread. It obviously has been dethroned by better technology as smaller caliber vld's have been introduced. [ QUOTE ] Nato has adopted the round as standard so it will be tough to get the powers that be to change. [/ QUOTE ] That right there is probably the reason pure and simple. Same stinking pact that arms our current troops with the diminutive 9mm instead of our beloved 45 acp that our boys in WW2 and KOrea got to use. [/QUOTE]
