[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2568615, member: 9374"] If you're wanting something more long range capable, you don't have to go all the way up to 7.62. Do some research on the 6.5 Grendel and the 6.8 SPC, both of which function very well in AR-pattern rifles. Personally, I went with the 6.8 because I found a good deal on one, but they're pretty close in ballistics out at longer ranges, i.e., 600+ yards. There are detractors on both sides, but the fact is, they're both better than the 5.56 long range. As for ammo, I've found the 6.8 SPC to be more available commercially than the 6.5 Grendel, and it runs around or under $1/round for high-quality hunting ammo like Hornady. 6.5 Grendel may be a better cartridge out to 1000 yards, but personally, if I'm looking for 1000+ yard shooter, I'm going .308 or something larger. .375 Cheytac anybody???? :D Just a thought.
