And you see it with the Army trying to get a new 6.8mm caliber round...

6.8mm... .277... An "American caliber"... which is in fact a Chinese caliber.

6.8x57 Chinese Mauser, 270 Win, 270 Weatherby where the only .277 caliber cartridges for a looooong time.


The "other" myth is that Winchester were left with a boatload of 6.8mm bullets after a Chinese Military contract went south.
And as a result they "invented" the .270 Win by necking down the other cheap brass was available. 30.06.


Just "a fluke" it basically copied the 7x64 Brenneke.


The US in the last 40 years:

Socialism for big corporations and military industrial complex

&

Rugged individualism for the individual.
