Not a very good story because its not really accurate. I thought the 6.8 was chosen to defeat body armor without the bulk and weight of 7.62x51. I have an opinion of the new ammunition choice and that opinion is negative.

26.771653543 Caliber. Almost 270. Took almost 100 years to adopt what John Browning wanted for the US Military.

I thought all weapons were being chambered in .277 Fury (Sig) but it appears only the M250 SAW and designated marksmen will shoot this. Our government can spend Our money like nobody's business.
