Stats on unlisted calibers

Hey guys, I am relatively new to GURPS, and have started by picking up the Basic Set, High Tech, SEALs in Vietnam, Gun-Fu, and Martial Arts.

I've done a LOT of looking, and haven't been able to find any stats on firearms chambered in the Remington 6.8x43mm SPC, the 6.5mm Grendel, or the .50 Beowulf. I figured I'd have make them up, but I haven't familiarized myself enough with the rules to do it well, so I'm asking the community for help.

Are weapons in those calibers statted out in other books for 4e, or has anyone made them up, and if so, what guidelines did you use to help you figure out the stats?

Also, as a sidebar, what's with the wacky ranges and target distance difficulty? I figure I must be missing something when an M4 is listed with a range of 750/2900 YARDS. What the heck???

Any help would be appreciated.
