Obviously these too are for DMR and marksmen but a simple Grendel retrofit (6.5) wouldn't hurt.
Seems like you have plenty of real world combat experience shooting Taliban. I too feel your pain of having to shoot at a bad guy more than once due to the poor stopping power of the 5.56mm peashooter rounds. I never settle for anything less than my 6mm double polish!
