.223 and .308 are both very easy to reload for. Biggest problem with both is too many good load combinations to choose from.

Wouldn't I need a AR-10 lower for .308?


Ah, too many threads, but yes, .308 is a different lower.

Additionally your instinct about the 5.56 being a good place to start is a good one.

Build a 5.56, play tinker toys with it, figure them out a bit, then go from there....
