This is my AR15 .223/ 5.56 I have had a few years now originaly it was a SDC mil spec , then I had Matt Greenall replace the upper witha SGC with the higher scope rail , its chambered in 5.56 and handles RG etc . A free floated 20" barrel and a Hawke Varmint II 4-16x 44 mildot scope . the few years its only been used for ETR so I dont have a proper zero as I just use the mildots for various distances .

There's been a 6x45 around for donkeys ages for the AR platform. Basically a .223 case necked up..... mags, bolts, everything the same except a 6mm hole down the barrel. 90gn bullets at 2800 fps. Great barrel life and excellent BC.

Food for thought.
What about 7.62x39 necked down to 6.5 (not Grendel)

6.5x39 is made by passing 7.62x39 brass through a FL sizing die once. Body taper and shoulder angle remain as the Russians designed it. There are two advantgaes with this, firstly any rifle of magazine designed to feed the Russian round feeds perfectly, and second, Milsurp 7.62x39 ammo can be pulled, resized with the powder charge still in place and then an 85gn HP seated and you have a good shootable cartridge that is easy to make, and who cares about the brass when it goes over the side.

6.5mm is also a good alternative as we already shoot 6.5 however half of the attraction is I have never owned a 6mm.
It will not be this year but is certainly worth a look at some point and I know the Viking likes this sort of thing. OK she prefers full auto's but this is as close as we will get over here.
