Ramlaen Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 The US Army's new 6.8mm projectile is 135 grain. Sig's .338 Norma cases are polymer and steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I am guessing 135gr is for the tungsten-cored variant. That would fit my models better. Or they just made it longer, which would be... Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 This is 4.9 inches drop at 200m: That's a 5.5" B8 bullseye target, similar in size to a human heart or vital zone in the head This is representative of 6.5 Grendel 123gr ammo from a 20" barrel or 100gr Grendel from a 14.5" barrel The bigger circle is the extreme spread (2.5" at 100 meters), the smaller circle is a representative mean radius (0.865" at 100 meters) Now, this is a 50% pH at 200m target And you need less than 2.7" drop at 200m to achieve that. M855A1 has 3" drop at 200m with a 100m zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
