AR-10 Which format?

[BrianW]

DPMS or Armalite? Perhaps another?

Best way to build one that a 243 or 7mm-08?

DPMS.

ASC mags.

6.5 Kreedmire.................

 

[BrianW]

DPMS was the direction I was leaning. I'll have to read up on the Creedmore (I'm guessing that's what you meant) and ASC mags.

The Creed' is simply 260 case capacity,in a shorter parcel. It is very nearly a Factory 6.5-250AI,sporting some of the absolute best brass in the business.

That extra COAL latitude,do not suck and there are some nice BC's to choose from. The 147 ELD sports a .697 BC.



Kreedmire and 308 here...147 ELD and 155 Skinner.



What's the application?..............

 

[BrianW]

The Kreedmire sounds good.

For application?... Hell, I've got AR's around here I haven't even fired yet. Same with hunting rifles.

But for sure I'd like something that works well with our Blacktails, so I'm sure this one fits the bill. Wouldn't hurt if it's accurate too.

'10's are just always gonna be pretty heavy and pretty cumbersome,as compared to a '15. If you are setting on multiple uppers and lowers,I get it...but if not,I'd stay '15 for handy/dandy.

The 243 LBC on a '15,do not suck. Nor do the 22 Grendel.

22 Grendel far left,6BR and 7 Whizzum.



223 Virgin on left,6.5 Grendel Virgin parent brass,22 Grendel with 75 ELD magfed Smooch and 6 Grendel with 108 ELD magfed Smooch.



As compared to 223 COAL.



Hint.................(grin)

 

[BrianW]

The '15 route is appealing for sure. I've got several extra lowers and uppers, BCG's too. Also I'm set for 105 .243 Amax bullets.

So I'd only need a barrel and bolt?

 

[BrianW]

Just to note, I'm researching both the 243LBC and the Gendal via the interwebs.

Do appreciate the advice.

 

[Big Stick]

Barrel and bolt...though I's upgrade beyond MilSpec in regards to extension and opt 750XD.
