Hey folks this year's ar build will be of the precision variety. I want to be super accurate out to 600 yards with plenty of knockdown power. For fun I would like to use something other than 223. There is a lot of calibers I can build around that can still utilize the mil spec magwell, would love to here opinions on the best non 223 option for longer distances. 6.5? 6.8? I want to wax my buddies at our 200 yard hi power club matches but also have something that could serve a serious role should it ever be needed. I figured extra bullet weight couldn't hurt at longer distances, maybe less change in wind? A reliable cartridge is preferred and I will be reloading, so something with plenty of brass and bullet availability would be nice. Thanks for your opinion in this initial brain storming session. Right now I'm just looking at prs stock or other fully adjustable, good bipod, good glass, giessele trigger. Is the military using anything besides the 223 and 308 in the AR platform?
