New hunting project..

I would go with 6.5 Creedmoor, or 300 blackout

Not planning on shooting long distances or running a suppressor

Why not?

Cartridge is too long. You have to use a larger framed receiver, like the kind used in an AR10.

.300BLk will work, as will 6.5 Grendel, 6.8SPC, 7.62x39mm, etc.

But you can still make an AR style 6.5, I thought you were saying you can't at all haha.

I said you can’t chamber it in 6.5CM, which means 6.5 Creedmoor.

OP, what distances are you going to be shooting at? Might make a difference in what people suggest to you. I normally hunt sub 100 (30-50 normally) yards and use a 7.62x39. However, about 175 yards is my max and ammo is not know to be super accurate. Can't speak on 300BO or 6.8 as I don't shoot them. My 6.5G is still being broken in; but have heard great things about it. Lack of open ranges slows things down.

Probably 200 yards max

300 Ham'r

6.5 Grendel or 6.8SPC. If you’re not a hand loader, 6.5 Grendel has a much better selection of factory ammo, to include cheaper steel-cased ammo for playin’ around.

2nd on the 300 hamr.

So I have my odt stripped lower and I want to build a new hunting rifle. Wanna do something different than the .223/556. With that said I’d use it for deer and maybe predator hunting. What does the ODT mind think

I love my Grendel. Sweet round and flat. Not far from the Creedmoor so tons of bullets if you handload.
