Which rather defeats the idea of the 5.56 allowing more rounds to be carried and thereby increasing the combat stamina of the soldier...
7.62N - one shot, one kill. You might only be carrying half the ammo, but you don't have to waste time (with additional shots) and ammo making sure the target stays down.
