and no idea what I should build. I currently have a 223 Wylde that shoots 55 and 69 great, so no need for another 223/5.56. My other AR is a 6.5x6.8, so have that area covered. I also have a Rem SA laying around, so need to consider that. I was looking for a fast 22 cal, so was either going to do 22 Creed in Rem SA or 22 NXS in the AR. down for anything, as long as I don't have to fire form brass.
Ideas?

Does Nosler make a 22 Nosler yet? Probably the only one they missed.

Something in .20 caliber?

I had the same problem. I decided to go with 7.62x39 as I somehow ended up with two AR magazines for that cartridge. I also have a bit of ammo for it as I have an SKS that I seldom shoot. It's not as good of a reason as buying a new gun to fit a box of ammo you ended up with but it is getting close.

I’ll watch this one closely, I’m in the same boat. I’m torn between a ultra lightweight 6.5 Grendel, and a .224 Valkyrie bench gun. But I’m open to suggestion.

I'll throw a vote in for the 6.5 Grendel: real easy to shoot, very accurate with any ammo - only have room to push it out to 300yds and FWIW the 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel AR magazines interchange (thus I saw a NEED for the 7.62x39 upper also).

22 inch 224 valk. just finished 4 of them for wedding gifts. 500 yard 6 inch gong gets boring.
dont have a 1000 yard range close so haven't tried them on that.

Might be leaning towards 20 Practical. I have thousands of empty 223 LC brass laying around. Cheap to shoot, esp since I get a little trigger happy with the ARs. For the longer work, I may make the Rem SA into a 22 Creed or 6x47L for the 1k stuff.

I have my 6.5x6.8 for my coyote work out to 300, so too close to a justify a Grendel. Might be leaning towards 20 Practical with 40gr. I have thousands of empty 223 LC brass laying around. Cheap to shoot, esp since I get a little trigger happy with the ARs. For the longer work, I may make the Rem SA into a 22 Creed or 6x47L for the 1k stuff.

Sounds like you should just go pistol in 300blk. Cut down brass and have fun. Subs and supers capable
Or go 223 again in a pistol. Smaller platform from your others I’m sure. Handiness abounds with this. Say 11.3-12.5” barrel.
You have the other bases covered it sounds. Or rimfire upper in say 17wsm?
Maybe

Maybe Would do a pistol in a heartbeat, except I live in one of those fun states.....or I could just build a pistol upper...
