10mm,223[2],6.8spc,6x45,dtech 6DTI,20 tactical, favorite is 6DTI If I didnt have a 6 WOA I would be all over the 6DTI.. Still may get one a little later on. I have read up on it a bunch and am impressed. I just like the lighter AR15 platform and whatever caliber I can get in it.. Those AR10 or large framed AR's (243..260...308 ETC) are just a whole lot bigger and heavy to me for what I like to do with them. But to each their own. Plus with the 6 WOA and 6DTI, you are creeping up really really close to the 243 performance but still in the AR15 platform..

5.56x45 300 BLK 7.62x51 6.5 Creedmoor
Couldn't pick a favorite, they're all great for their purposes. Thinking of a 6.5 Grendel next, I like 6.5's.

22 LR 5.56X45 (RRA Predator Pursuit and 7 1/2" Carbon 15) 5.45X39 6.8 SPC
The Carbon 15 was a gift, long ago. It is not really practical, but I can think of a few instances where it could be employed. It's LOUD and has an impressive flame thrower after dark. It's fun on July 4th, as long as it's shot into a berm. It has been very reliable to this point, but has only had about 400 rounds through it.
The 22 LR gets the most use now days.
They are all lots of fun.

.223. Looking to add a .308 in the future. Absolutely zero interest in anything else unless you count the .50 BMG uppers. I can't stand proprietary cartridges.

Other than 223/5.56, looks like the 6.5/6.8 calibers are the most popular. I figured the 300 Blackout to be the next. Continue on.

One of my favorite things about the AR is the "cheap to shoot" factor. I owned a 6.5 Grendel for awhile. It was a fantastic cartridge and one of the neatest AR's I've ever owned but it was expensive to shoot and I lost interest quickly. Terry

5.56, .300 BO, and .308
Probably either a 6.8 or a .204 next

a lot of 223s. a 22lr with Krieger tube. 7.62x39, 6mm woa, 50 beowulf. Soon to add a 300 whisper.
Over the years we did so much AR competition shooting that I have more than my share of 223 uppers for the wife and I. Main guns. Speciality guns. Backup guns. Backups to the backups. New ones set up so when the barrels go TU we don't have down time etc....
Had we not been competitiors, I suspect I'd have one of about every caliber by now if not more.. grins.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
