    .50 Beo is bigger than the .458. ;)
    Have shot the .450 Bushy plenty - not interested.
    x39 does nothing for me, 6.8 and 6.5G don't do much for me either.

    May actually let another upper go instead, the 5.56 16" LW is just sitting in the safe - maybe 250 rounds down the pipe.

    Hey brad im assuming you reload, where do you get your brass from? Im new to reloading and i have one more lower in the safe and its either going to be a .50 or a 6.8. Im leaning to the 50 cuz i like big guns that make a big boom.

    Try MidwayUSA to start...

    Best source of brass for da fiddy is to buy factory A.A. ammo, and save the brass. Or buy the brass directly from A.A. on their website. Either way, it'll cost you... :)

    Starline makes the brass for A.A., but they only do a run if they have enough requests, so you could be waiting for a while.

    ETA: Don't be surprised if you see a split in the case wall from time to time. I normally get 1 every 20/30 rounds on factory ammo. A.A. and Starline have both been notified, neither has apparently had the time to even respond.

    Currently working on a 5.56 Sbr and a 300blk sbr. After that, 458 socom, maybe as an sbr as well. And then, who knows.

    My next AR like item is a 9mm carbine on a lone wolf lower.

    Also got an extra LR308 compatible lower for a future build (someday).

    6.5 Grendel I think.

    Not trying to talk you out of the round, cause it's a fun round.

    Just always felt the 24"/26" barrels were a bit disproportionate on a AR-15 platform. Probably just me though... :)

    As soon as I get a form 1 back for one lower, a form 4 back for a silencer and pickup my other lower after engraving I'l be simultaneously building:

    10.5" Noveske 5.56mm w BCM 10" KMR handguard
    10.5" Noveske 300blk with Seekins 12" Bar rail, suppressed.

    1. Maybe a 2nd copy of my service rifle for competition or just an extra upper.
    2. Maybe something with a heavy barrel for varminting.
    3. Not really an AR but for some reason I'm enamored of the Colt .22 LR M4

    I have two, pre-ban, Mega lowers that have been waiting for me to make a decision. I know I want a precision 5.56, but STUCK on the next one. Maybe a 6.5 Grendel or 9mm. Just not sure.

    I have 5 lowers to build, I would like to use a BCM, PWS, LARUE, LMT, and a Daniel Defense complete upper for each. They will either be 16" or SBRs.

    Search about this rifle.

    NOT the best choice. NOT made by Colt. NOT compatible with many AR parts.

    S&W 15-22 is a MUCH better choice.
