Look at this fucking thing! How much lighter is it than 308? Like 5 grains from the case, 10 grains from the bullet, 5 grains from propellant? “Intermediate cartridge” my ass, that thing is a slightly nerfed full power cartridge. The principal reason for the switch to intermediates was light cartridge weight and useful full auto, qualities the 280 British does not shine in. And it was apparently developed as part of an “ideal cartridge” program. I’ll give them credit for the ample ogive space, that’s about the one benefit it has over 5.56.

Anyways, the 6mm SAW in picrel should’ve gone places. It’s a solid single-caliber solution.
