Flatest shooting AR cal.??

I converted a 6x47Lapua to 6 Creedmoor in an AR 10. That is fantastic with handloads. But, Hornady ammo sucks! The primers blow O U T ! I even have an adjustable gas block. Everything works (factory and reloads) in my bolt rifles; but the Hornady ammo won't work in this AR10. Tried another brand and they didn't blow primers, but the long pointy bullets would not feed. But I'm very happy to shoot my reloads in it! I have shot the 6 CM at 970 yds. and it is flatter and more wind resistant than the 6.5 CM. Very accurate too!

I built a 6.5 CM on a AR 10 platform and 6.5 Grendel's and they all shoot great. I want to build something that won't go to the bottom of the list in a few years. It seams that every couple of yrars a new improved cartridge comes out! What's next?

The trick is to build something the meets your needs and not get caught up in the latest greatest trap, it just increases your cost for something that is more than not just splitting hairs anyway.

Yeah there isn't much listed on here that comes close to a 22-250 in an AR10 platform.

Is building one as simple as chambering up a barrel and putting it together? Mag, compatibility, etc.?

 

[RODSTRADLEY]

I am wanting to build on the AR 15 platform that's using my spare parts I have accumulated. I have an 6.5CM that I built last year that shoots to my expectations. PS I have 2 Grendels also

I'm not sure. Mine have all been bolt guns.
Was thinking about a 22-250 with a 1/7 twist with a heavy mono bullet for pigs.

224 Valkyrie???

I have built 6.5 Gendels and a 6.5 CM and they shoot very well. I have been wondering about a couple calibers so I am open for suggestions.

Hasn't anyone wildcatted the 5.56-.308 Improved yet? That should be pretty darn flat.

How about 220 Swift I have 2 custom bolt rifles, that way I wouldn't need any new brass!

True. The 220 Swift is a beast for killing critters.
