Hunting AR chambering?

[Fort Daniel Inc]

What chamber do you like for a hunting AR? 300 Blackout? 5.56? .223 Wylde? .204 Ruger? 6.8 SPC? 7.62x39? .458 SOCOM? Other?

I have both 5.56 & 6.8- and taken several deer with each using Barnes bullets. The 6.8 is pretty awesome.

I've used 5.56, .223 Wylde, and .300 Blackout. I'm currently looking into 6.5 Grendel.

6.8 is the best without question.

I switched from 7.62x39 to 300BO because of mag issues and then to 6.8 due to range.
Now with the introduction of a new 300BO bullet that I know about and hunting with a can, will switch back to a 300BO Pistol with Sig brace.

We will be doing more 300 BO testing soon!!!

no love for .308?

That will almost certainly be a future offering!

Why no love for 6.5 Grendel?

The list of possible chamberings is quite long!! If you don't see what you prefer up here, choose "other" and let us know in the thread what you like.
