Ok I love building AR's but I have what I want right now. So what Caliber should I build next. I have 556 and 22lr.
Tell me what you would like or do like.

Ive been super impressed with my 6.5grendel

How about one of those hand cranked Gatling guns.

I'm a fan of the 450 bushmaster.

Do you have any problems getting ammo or is it a roll your own kind of thing

I really like my 300 BLK for the suppressed stuffs.

Makes it really nice and quiet with some umph behind the bullet.

It's a great round if you reload. I use Sierra MKs for my mine. Otherwise, ammo isn't exactly scarce for it. Regardless, it's a great, practical option.

If you want to have some fun, you can also consider .458 SOCOM or 50 Beuwolf. They are great heavy hitters that make a satisfying bang every time you pull the trigger. Your shoulder might not be so happy, though, since muzzle brakes don't do all that much to quell the recoil. The .458 and the 6.8 SPC were my first two AR15s. I don't regret the .458. I wished I went with the 6.5 Grendel instead of SPC, though.

I bought a few boxes before the uhhh...well before things got sparse and I've been rolling my own since. It's kinda hit and miss in the brick and mortar's but easily obtainable online. Or at least was, but a quick search and it looks like it's still readily available.

Same here. 200 grain bullet and a suppressor is just a loud click of the action cycling. One of my favorite ARs.

My next on a 556 platform will be 6mm ARC and if I did a 308 sized, it would be a 45 Raptor, no question!

I might chase the 6.8 SPC if I get a chance to build another. Why not go that route?

A lot of good ideas 350 sounds best so far and on the ar10 stage is 243 I like the idea of both
