US Military Takes On 2 New Calibers Of Rifle Ammo
The US Army is transitioning to the 6.8x51mm NGSW, with production underway at Lake City. While 5.56 NATO remains primary, the military is increasingly utilizing 6.5 Creedmoor for precision roles due to its flat trajectory and 7.62x39mm for close-quarters combat and AK variants. Older calibers like .338 Lapua Magnum and .300 Win Mag are still in use, but 6.5 Creedmoor is favored by many for its ballistic performance and lighter weight.
