You are absolutly correct... it is about the number of rounds/lbs.
The C-Products mags are not that reliable. I do agree that the 7.62x39 is an intresting cartridge, just as the 30 Rem. is an intresting cartridge.
If the 6.5 Grendel or the 6.8 SPC were going to break into military use the had to be able to use the same bolt and mags! (By the way shooting a Beta-C mag is very cool). Also if you want to see what really killed off the 6.5 Grendel or the 6.8 SPC military asperations look at the Sierra or Hornaday catalogue and look at the new .22 caliber heavy weights:
77 gr HPBT also called the open tip match bullet
80 gr HPBT
90 gr HPBT
One might have some problems with the 80 and 90 pills... but I think you get my point. These bullets shoot nearly as flat and hit as hard as the ~90 gr bullets out of the 6.5 Grendel or the 6.8 SPC.

old post but still very UNTRUE on several levels. the 6.5 grendel is NOT breaking bolts.BUT IT IS
still in operation in MANY places of action in our armed forces hands ( Afghanistan is seeing how effective it is vaporizing camel jockeys at 1000 yards as we speak!) now try getting the 80 and 90 grain bullets out of a .223 to shoot 600+ while still staying SUPERSONIC! do the math, it wont happen with them. IT WILL with the grendel.
