    AR-15 Build??? What caliber

    I have a 556 complete upper i won’t use that I wanna change out to another caliber. I have never done this so any insight will be great. This will mostly be parts swapping instead of building.

    What caliber would be best fit in your opinion? I’ve been researching and narrows down to a few. 350 legend, 22 nosler or maybe 6.5 grendel.

      My .556 has been in purgatory for 5 years since I got my grendel.

        Whatever you have the most ammo for .
        If ammo isn't a issue then the Grendel.

              I stopped shooting my 556 and ended up selling on this forum. I never shot it after I got the Grendel. Even shot an Axis spike with it this past weekend!

                  Looks like grendel is popular. I should’ve bought ammo last week when academy had 10 boxes on the shelf.

                        I absolutely love my grendel! Have shot hogs and coyotes, skunk, and as of this year my 10pt WT (was expecting hogs and coyotes and he walked out before 7am!)

                          I guess I should’ve mentioned I have a new 7.62x39 AR now. The 6.5grendel is very close to that round if I’m reading right.

                            Maybe in bullet weight, but no way you get the range, accuracy and terminal performance out of 7.62x39 that you can in 6.5 grendel

                            Of course if you are only planning on shooting out to a couple hundred yards the difference is probably not a factor.

                              I love my Grendel but finding ammo is a challenge. I have enough but would more so I could target shoot more.

                              Have you considered a 300 blackout? If so I have a new unused upper that we could would out trade values on and swap.

                              And yes if you see Grendel ammo in academy pick up your 3 boxes. You can always help a tbh brother out and resale to us.
