I had one liked it but didn’t love it. The cartridge is a pretty solid choice for the AR-15 platform. I like my Grendel’s better.

Thank you for the replies

Carpsniperg2  Do you have 6mm or 6.5MM or both?

Was thinking the 6MM CM as another possibility

The 6mm CM is on the ar10 and wont work on the 15 like the 243wssm will.

I have a 6x45 and 2 6.5 Grendel's.

For a bunch of reasons I switched gears and I am in the process of building a AR 15 in a 22 Nosler. Thanks for the replies and if anyone has any tips on reloading for the 22 Nosler I'm all ears
