I have no issue with the platform. In the beginning I felt it was a puny cartridge. I’ve gotten over that by working up heavy loads, for shorter range applications.
I’ve only recently built my first AR. But the rounds I am using is an old carry over from the days when my brother was shooting a 22-250. That is a very popular rifle caliber here in Texas today. Gun smith friend of mine, told me that there is a fairly higher price paid for used 22-250 Rifles here. Has been that way a long time.
Several years ago, I was trying to plan for an AR-10 build. My gunsmith talked me out of that project, he knew the sources I was planning to buy from. There were issues.
But now, I have another source and I expect I will buy/build their version. Good People. I’m really pleased with my AR and that I bought most of the parts from. I can get excited about .308 (7.62x51 NATO).
So, who is the new go-to for AR-10 components?
Asking for a friend.
