^^ Exactly. You have to modify the case and run a modified mag to allow for feeding. When you need hundreds of thousands of rifles, magazines, and need a reliable platform for the military, that system won't work and would be cost prohibitive. If hundreds of thousands are involved, economies of scale will take over and it won't matter what cartridge is selected. The mags won't be modified, they'll be constructed to the new specs from day one. Heck, we could build an entirely new platform and it wouldn't cost anymore than what they're spending already.

The Japanese figured out during WWII that 6.5mm round just wasn't very good military round. Too small, they switched to the 7.7 round.
Retired U. S. Army, which means I still have to work to make a living.
