Hi,
The 338NM runs better from belt than the 338LM because that was its' original design and intention from the beginning when Sloan was developing it...he already had the MG design in mind
Some tenders allow the manufacturers to supply what they desire as long as it meets the operational parameters but other tenders do NOT allow manufacturers any leadway..such as the new SOCOM sniper rifle. It MUST be switchbarrel and MUST be .308, 300NM and 338NM....no other cartridges allowed to be submitted.
The Tier 1 units have been running 260s, 6.5CM and some 7mm systems for their sniper rifles for several years now.
The new infantry rifle....well I would say think more on the lines of a 6.5CM Scar
Sincerely,
THEIS
