What is your favorite AR caliber that can be fed in a standard AR15 lower?
I am interested in building three ARs and there are plenty of caliber using regular (AKA non-.308) lower receivers. Of the calibers that can be accommodated by your standard AR lower, what are the fan favorites? I am definitely building one in .223Rem and one in .200BLK. I have plenty of 7.62x39 rifles so I am not interested in that caliber. However, there are others such as 6.5 Grendel, 6.8SPC, and I'm sure a handful of others that I'm sure some THR members would love to try to sway me to build.
I'd like to stay away from any bizarre, super expensive calibers as I'll most likely be buying an upper, buying a lower, and slapping them together. So let's hear it... what are your favorite AR calibers and why? Convince me to build the third AR in your favorite caliber. Any feedback on uppers that work particularly well in a certain caliber is also welcomed. Thanks.
