What are your thoughts on cased telescoped cartridges?

M43 is 123gr

The M4 is a carbine.
You're comparing it to a LMG.

How much do they cost per round? Would it be easy/practical to reload? Can those plastic cases be reloaded?
Genuine curiosity here

The cost per round hasn't really been figured out yet. It's still in development, but as with any new cartridge, especially since it's a new STYLE of cartridge, the cost will start very high, and eventually come down. It should be very comparable to brass cased ammo.

2lbs can be saved with the ammo easily. Also the gun is still in early development and is expected to get lighter over time. The m16 did not start as a nice lightweight weapon. My AK is a little over ten pounds fully loaded, so I'd be willing to take the trade off for more power and less weight

First off you're a faggot. Second off I cropped these out of a PDF I downloaded, don't know if theyre on Google images or not. Third off, you are a fucking retarded manlet if you think 130 grain 7.62 projectiles aren't common. Have you ever heard of 7.62x39???? Or do you think all 30 cal bullets are for 7.62x51? And yes there are common 7.62 NATO that weigh less. Fifth off I am saying that this will help get the best of both worlds. The 6mm range projectiles actually do very well and those are the ones I'm talking about.

we're talking about the .308, you stupid piece of shit
your stupid fuck infomeme references 7.62x51, you worthless piece of fucking shit
m80a1 is a round designed for close range armor penetration coming out of very short barrels. It is a niche round, not something that receives widespread DMR use, you godamn moronic piece of shit
gas yourself

Get out.

They should just try to duplicate the 6mm unified the Russians came up with. Cut down from ~125 grains to ~75, reduce caliber to either .243 or .257 and you're set. .257 would actually be a decent choice, lighter 75-80 grain bullets could be made with decent bc's yet heavier 115-120 grain bullets could be utilized for longer ranges The biggest problem would be barrel wear, at these pressures and velocities I would expect barrel life to be around 5000 rounds with a standard bullet.
