In a previous post, I made the assumption that the army’s decision to go with 6.8 x 51mm for its Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program meant they had selected the True Velocity 6.8 x 51mm TVCM round.
That appears not to be the case:
About 3:40 in, he says the army choose not to go with the bullpup and it’s polymer ammo, so presumably TVCM is out of the picture for now. Instead the new round will use bimetallic steel-brass hybrid ammunition manufactured Remington. On the other hand, he says the “Lake City Ammo Plant” is in Utah, when it’s actually in Independence, Missouri, so some grains of salt are in order.
If you have any additional information, leave it in the comments below.

223 WAS A WRONG MOVE MAC NAMRA BEAN COUNTERS AND NOT MILITARY SERVICEMEN. NVA AND VC TOOK SEVERAL HITS FROM THE M-16 223 AND KEPT ON COMING! MOST THAT COULD CARRIED A PISTOL WITH THEM IN 45ACP OR 357 MAGNUM AND AMMO COULD BE PURCHASED AT THE POST OR BASE EXCHANGE STORE WHEN THE 223 FAILED THE 45 ACP DIDN’T! BUT I BELIEVE THE 6.8 X 45MM IS A BETTER CHOICE WITH ARMOR PIECING AMMO AND FMJ AMMO EQUIPPED SERVICEMEN! COST OF TRAINING AND AMMO! BESIDES AFTER HAVING NATO COUNTRIES GO TO THE 223 AND DROPPING THE 308 THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE EASERLY CONVICED TO MAKE THE SWITCH!
