Re: For first time rifle build: What caliber?

If this is your first AR15 then the priority will be on something that is cheap to practice with (since you will need to shoot quite a bit to practice). While 22LR is cheap it is inadequate as SD weapon. .223 (or ideally 5.56 chambered AR15) is what you want.

Realize that 6.8 and 6.5 ammo costs $1+ per round. There is no cheap 6.8 or 6.5 ammo. .308 costs about .40$ per minimum for surplus. You can get .223 Brown Bear for .20$ per and $.30 for brass now (the prices have been falling last few months).
