I have been reading your post and agree with you pretty much. Do you have any positive proof the the Army is using ( not evaluating) the 6.5 Lapua? What was on the military channel and history channel was a private citizens rifle. Even Lapua will not confirm that the 6.5 Lapua is being used as a miltary sniper rifle. You will be seeing an article coming out soon on the 6.5 L. on this site.
