Ar10 6.5 creed or 308

[Calebcroy92]

6.5 or 308 for a ar10 platform and why?

 

[Altrex]

When World War 3 starts, there will probably be a lot more 308 available LOL. If you're shooting over distance, the 6.5 Buck the wind better

I gave up on the ar10 platform, am sticking with my battle rifles in semi auto. Just my personal preference. As for accuracy you can't beat a good bolt rifle though!!

The ar10 is semi auto. I'm a little confused by your post. Could you clarify please?

 

[2in1evtime]

I am stating true battle rifles as in FALs, m1 garands, beretta garands in 308, Other countries semi auto's also, i have a dsa fal that shoots sub moa, I have had ar 10's, have worked on a lot of ar 10's and just don't care for the platform myself

Ok, it makes sense to me now. Thanks for the explanation.

Which one do you have a stock pile of ammunition for 6.5 Creedmoor or 308 Winchester/7.62×51?

If it's neither I'd go with something else.


Starting to look like the Ruger 10/22 maybe the go to battle rifle soon followed by airguns, and sling shots.

Point taken. There for a while it seemed 6.5 C was being made of unobtainium. Now it's being made of left kidneyum.

I thought about getting a 6.5 upper for my AR-10, but I have thousands of rounds of 7.62x51 and zero rounds of 6.5 CM. With the ammo/reloading situation being what it is, that thought quickly went by the wayside.

Sometimes I think about things until I forget also...

 

[Tactically Fat]

If I were starting out and wanted a wholly new platform, I'd go 6.5CM 100% in a bolt gun.

But if I wanted a semi-auto gas gun, it'd be a FAL or one of the pricy KAC guns in .308. Nothing else.

What purpose will this rifle serve you? Range gun, hunting?

This can make a difference.

The guns purpose will be just another Freedom seed spreader for me. and possibly a hog/coyote gun

I have 6.5 Creedmoor already and I buy more whenever I find it. But the same time I can find 7.62 x 51. I didn't know if anyone had experience with an AR-10 in 6.5 Creedmoor. I personally I have not shot one in 6.5 cm yet. And yes 10/22 is what our government wants us all to have.

If you have 6.5 Creedmoor then stick with it. It's a better long distance round and iirc it starts beating the 7.62x51mm at around 800-900 yards and beyond. I'm talking match grade ammo comparison.

If I was starting out new I'd have went 6.5 Creedmoor, but I'm to heavily invested in 7.62x51mm to change now.

Anyone have any thoughts on psa?

For around $1200 you can step up to Aero Precision quality. I do believe you have to buy your own bcg and charging handle for the upper. But I always do anyway so figured that in as well.

 

[Calebcroy92]

The one I posted above is around 1100 full rifle. But I'll spend up to 2k but would rather stay on the lower side.

 

[Calebcroy92]

Would rather save a little bit of money and get a good scope.
