[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1119192, member: 30902"] You may well be right. Remember back though in the early days of Afghanistan and Iraq. Our troops were ill equipped to fight a door to door urban conflict because the .223 just sucks at penetrating things like doors, walls etc. The .260, 6.5x47L, 6.8spc and other calibers were quickly developed to give them a little more punch out of an AR platform rifle and the .260 was also intended as a short to medium range sniper round for short barreled bolt guns. Sadly, nothing breeds innovation like a country at war. [/QUOTE]
