I have a 223 & a 308. Looking for something I between and have a AR-15 lower. Recommendations?
I prefer classic.

My recommendation is to throw anything that isn't .223 in the fugking trash can.

Hmmm, maybe where to go?
I'm planning on Tulsa in April. That show may be the place. The caliber may be limited with an AR-15 lower?
I'm thinking an 18" or longer barrel. One of mine now is BPMS and it seems to work well.
Basically I need an entire education. I'll probably need to read a lot more of these posts. The magazine articles all seem to say buy what I'm writing about.
I intensely hated the issue M16 and have ignored AR's for a long time.
I prefer classic.

6.8 SPC for hunting, 6.5 Grendel for targets.

have them all,6.8 wins hands down for a deer/hog rig and will fit your lower fine, ammo is easy enough to get these days. a 16" barreled six 8 is my preferred carry gun. the .223s just sit in my safe any more. the POF .308 gathers dust and I finally took the barrel off the Grendel and put a 6.8 on it.
as you can see I'm a believer..

Get a bolt...
Anything beyond a 223 in a AR tends to be heavy and you won't keep it long term.

And get a 260 if you shoot big game.
If you only shoot yotes and such go 243.

Not meaning to hijack, but maybe this will help target the answer.
How do the ballistics of the 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 Special Purpose Cartridge compare? Quick benefits of each.
Just looking for the skinny between the 2 cartridges.
Thanks

You could always rock a Nemo 300 WinMag for your 'big' AR, and let the 308 be your midsize. https://nemoarms.com/rifles/

Fail to see how all the large suggestions fit on his AR15 lower...
FWIW I'm back to the point if I can't do it with a 223 and good bullet, then I'm going to a bolt gun also....
I've had an AR10 lower for 15 or so years... never found any reason to build it...

I have a .308 and I like it but I can't see myself picking it up over a bolt gun. I have it for a novelty more than anything although it's still very accurate and reliable. .223 is king in the AR platform, everything else is just "fun".
