Trouble is the current operating procedures aren't that every rifle man should be a crack shot and take out the Taliban with a single shot, soldiers are trained to suppress the enemy until they can be taken out by a helicopter, fast jet, or artillery.
You watch the videos on youtube, none of them are taking aimed shots, they are just firing in the general direction until something bigger can take them out.
So its pointless giving them a more capable round if they're not even trained to make proper use of the current round, and the current operating procedures requires one to fire a lot of ammo, so having lighter ammo and being able to carry more of it is much more useful than a higher BC bullet that isn't hitting the enemy.
