Here's a list of calibers for the AR 15. Using one lower22 204 ruger 223/5.56x45 5.7x28 223wsm 243wsm 25wsm 6.5 grendel 6.8spc 7.62x39 30AR 450bushmaster 458scocom50beowulf. The ballistics on the grendel are quite impressive. Worth a look imo
Nice AR Biggerhammer Earlier in the year I was looking @ building a 6.8 ar platform (my first) for deer & coyotes. After stumbling onto the 6.5 grendel and reading up on it, I haven't looked back. It's just what I wanted in a firearm long, hard hitting an accurate. With practice I'm looking forward to hitting a 6in pie plate at 500 yards. I have all the parts except one of the important ones the "BARREL". Waiting since 03-20-12.

My brothers deer he shot at almost 500 yards was with a 6.5 Grendel barrel and a loaded cartridge with the head stamp of 6.5 LBC.Alexander has really been lacking on delivering barrels even close to their projected delivery dates. I know guys who have been waiting over a year.
I have wanted an AR for some time but know really nothing about them. Which is good, which is bad, what to look for and what to a void, etc....All I know is, I want one I could take big game hunting (deer) if I want to, and I want it camo....I know Olympic has some models that I can get in .243 WSSM and .25 WSSM.Looking to yote hunt with it also and both .243 and .25 cal have small grained bullets that I can reload for it.What do I need to Know
Who makes the best lowers?Not sure if I want to go stripped lower, or assembled lower. Should I go forged? I'm ready to build me an AR, before they go with another Brady bill or something worse even. Pretty well sold on the Grendell too.
