missed .450 Bushmaster, factory Remington ammo is available for it......

[YALE]

That .338 Whisper should be .338 Whisper #2. #1 is for the AR10, and I think it's based on the .308.

[CJ]

I'm doing a .300 whisper for my next AR build.

[bronco71]

6mm x 47 won't fit in an AR-15 mag......

[bronco71]

I'm doing a .300 whisper for my next AR build.

suppressed and subsonic? or supersonic .300 fireball?

What's the purpose for the rifle? Debatably, 5.56 is going to be your best choice unless you plan in doing very long range shooting or hunting medium to large game. Ammo for other calibers are much more expensive (except 7.62x39 and surplus calibers). Also, non5.56 AR parts are more expensive and will drive up the price of your build.

[soap]

true, im just thinking about it though.

would a 223 make a good 500yr round. on the AR platform with the right scope and some trigger time?

With the right setup, yes. Do you have a place to regularly shoot 500 yards? Most ranges don't go past 100. If you're dead set on an AR for that, look up the Army's SDMR. That's a pretty simple build that'll get you there.

Both, supressed for hogs.
