Yes, and in the original rendition of the ammo, it had a lot of problems, resulting in extractor problems, etc. The Centurion ammo is using a lighter bullet and different powder to get where it needs to go, at easier-to-handle pressures.
The technology today MIGHT make it easier to get something worthwhile here, but we won't know that until there are a few out there getting used.

We can speculate all we like, but we won't know a thing until it gets here and some knowledgeable people get to try it out.
