AR Calibers......?

[LewisBrookshire]

If you guys had your choice would you choose a 5.56 or 5.45 caliber AR....and why?

5.56 by far. The ammo choices are much better, not to mention magazines, BCGs, and barrels.

They say 5.45 is cheap ammo, but seems like it is all corrosive.

I hate washing out guns. Hence no corrosive for me!

 

[drtybykr]

Both.

I chose the 7.62x39 it's a bigger chunk of lead,cheap to shoot and I like it better for deer hunting.

5X on the 7.62x39 if the deer gets in a truck to get away----shot the truck

Switching to 6.8 SPC

X2. I've had a 6.8 for a few years and it's an awesome weapon. Very accurate and deadly. More expensive to shoot but since I reload it's more affordable. I plink with my 5.56 AR's and shoot deer and hogs with 6.8. I took 4 does with it this season and they were all dead within 25 yards and it didn't ruin a bunch of meat.

5.56 with an upper in .300blk and a .22lr conversion kit for plinking.

Are you using seperate weapons or interchanging hardware between calibres?
