OFOGS,
I was under the impression that 6.8 mag reliably fed 25 6.8mm rounds, and that the STANAG won't feed the round reliably at all (which was one of Remington's original selling points). I may be off, as I am certainly out of the loop (whatever loop that may be). As to the 262, I was aware that it traded some barrier penetration for longer fragmentation ranges, but was unaware that it came up so short. I've spoken with some local LEOs (LAPD, LACoSD) who use the 77gr. (or 75gr.) rounds to great effect in their 16" patrol carbines. That, as we all know ,though, is an entirely different ball o' wax from the game you guys play. Have your SDM's been issued the 262, or are they using good ol green tip? There are some photos of gelatin and barrier penetration tests for the 6.8 SPC OTM(but not ball) round floating about on duh intraweb, I'll see if they can be linked here.
Stay safe,
Cato
