So, I’m not super tactical guy, and genuinely curious… what’s the rationale behind a SBR in such a large caliber? What can this do that a SBR in 5.56 not do?
Move two to three times the weight out the barrel.
It can be a bit of an oxymoron, but it’s just a balance of intended target distance vs what you have to carry around, and overall length when adding a suppressor. Regarding comparison to 5.56, we’re talking a ~150-175 grain bullet vs a ~55-65 grain bullet. People who like this idea are going to argue things like ‘stopping power’ and ‘hydrostatic shock’, and the term ‘windshield’ may come up a few times.
The 7.62×51 SBR likely comes from the centuries-old debate: “What’s better, a large slow-moving projectile, or a small fast-moving projectile?” Opinions are strong on both sides (ref: .45 vs 9mm).
