If they wanted to go smaller than the 7.62, then why not the 243 or 260?.. same parent case, should be able to switch out barrels for cheap, easier to shoot, better ballistics and a more lethal round.... why re-invent the wheel constantly? and the 5.56 isn't going anywhere, it's a NATO cartridge and theres millions of rounds out there, the "improved" rifles and rounds need only go to spec ops, SEALS etc.... Let's be honest.... The creed is hear to stay , is about as popular in as the .308 , you can find about as much if not more I've seen ammo for it right next to the .308. it's not some miracle round...but it works ..I mean it just plain works . And if you wanna do trh whole argument about ,its the same as the .260 or the sweede....well in that case if it's the same it's just as good and it's easier to find and get so Yep, had the creedmoor or 6.5 probably was around when I had my 260 built I would have gone with one of them Due to availability. If I ever need to get my barrel set back( cut off 1/2" on the breach end and rechambered when shot out saving the cost of buying another barrel) I will have it chambered in one of them. Probably cm since I dont have a place to shoot over 500 yards any more and it will be cheaper to shoot and do all I need.

The federal government should keep it simple to save the taxpayers money so the politicians can squander money we don’t have on useless programs that pee us all off.

Well better knock down power was issue during the GWOT. Talked to a few vets from Ramadi and the like who said they like the light weight of the 5.56 ...but when you have a Iraqi hopped up on various things they found that they would want something with more punch then 5.56 because yeah you can poke 10 holes in a dude but that doesn't mean the drugs in his system are gonna let him stop I mean we could do what is allowed in some special deals where they use something like an open tipped match...but Geneva convention.....

Has less drop and wind drift than a 300 win mag at 1000 yard and with less recoil than a 308.

Now it can be argued that it holds its energy better over distance, the bullet diameter is more efficient...you know the whole 6.5 Sweden has been killing moose in Sweden for 150 years argument..... But yeah within 200yd of course the bigger diameter bullet of the same construction and all that ...will have more knock down power YouTube expert "The bird of Hermes is my name , eating my wings to keep me tame"
