Same critical caveats I provided on the SASS thread concerning "Military Times"...
I guess there are more weapons projects in the SOCOM arena, to include an M240 replacement in .338 Norma Mag. I had always thought that IF any of the military organizations were to embrace the .33 cal, would have been with .338 Lapua Mag.
With SOCOM, they have a lot of latitude to field systems that the rest of the conventional force will never see. I thought the selection of the .338NM, which I had always considered quite an obscure round in the US, is surprising.
I feel for the quartermasters/logisticians in the SOF community that need to track all of this different ammo!
