Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles If new cartridges would most be interested in Varmint, target, hunting?

Those 308s would work really well. In fact I hunt with a guy that uses one on pigs all the time. Granted we don't have open fields as mentioned, but I've seen him fire at the most 4 rounds before the pigs were gone. I've yet to see him hit anything after the first shot.

OTOH I've used both 223 and the 6.8 necked to 6mm and I've killed as many as 5 before they left the sendero. A week ago I managed 4 and missed the 5th shot.

Lucky for the rest of us that the firearm manufacturers do not listen to your advice and introduce more cartridges for us to choose from.

knock yourself out. Its actually what keeps the business alive, telling folks and folks believing, that they can't accomplish it with whats out there.

And there isn't a thing you can't accomplish with whats out there for the AR15 platform or the AR10 platform already.

BUT its a free country and you can sure give er a whirl.

But I stick by my statement, if you are loosing game with a 223 or a 300 blackout its not the guns fault.

So whats your thoughts?

30 AR necked to 6mm?

I'd be interested to hear what kind of cartridge the OP has in mind as well.

Pretty much everything's already been done in some form in AR wildcats, although there are certainly some good wildcats that are better than the commercial options. For example, the 22 and 6mm Grendel-based variants for long range can beat the pants off either of those 22 cal AR options recently released by Nosler and Federal. BHW's American 30 makes for a pretty decent mid-range hunting round. The 20 Tactical & 20 Practical rounds make a lot of sense for economical high velocity varmint rounds.
It seems that some of those could do pretty well if introduced as commercial rounds.
