So ive got a 10mm Olympic AR, my first AR i might add, and i was thinking of getting an upper or 2 and i need some advice.
I plan on getting a 50 Beowulf upper with my tax return this year, but i wanted to add a mid bore actual rifle caliber upper and im kinda stuck on what to get.
I had planned on getting a 5.56 upper just for the price of ammo and availability, 10mm aint cheap and neither is the Beowulf, but frankly besides defence against people and the occasional rabid chipmunk the caliber is basically useless to me.
The 7.62x39 is a bit better, it can be used for deer sized targets and ammo is still cheap but i hear that there is some jamming issues.
The 6.8spc is said to be enough gun for anything up to black bear, and while it seems a bit light for bear to me, its still many times better than the 5.56. Ammo isnt cheap nor plentiful, but it isnt that hard to find nor terribly expensive.
On the other hand the 50 Beowulf could cover any of my large-angry-bear problems and the 10mm could cover anything home defence orientated so maybe i should just get something thats cheap to shoot?
Anyway im sorta hoping someone has an opinion they'd like to share that helps me decide????
