    Calibers available for the AR-15?

    The post by ARaholic makes me ask.
    Gun control is not about guns.

    At the moment that I can remember I've got uppers in 22lr, 223/5.56, 6x45, 7.62x39, 9mm (blowback and DI), 357AR, 375 FUW (soon to add 375 FU2W and a belted 375 wildcat) , 44x1.6", 44x1.8", 450BM...need to finish up a 17HMR upper.

    Pretty much if it can fit in the magwell it has been done, along with single shots and longer than standard receiver sets to get longer ones.

    the list is long, and for this an internet search is your friend. though there are always new ones that havent made lists yet. must be at least 50 individual cartridges the AR15 is chambered for.

    Love my 6.5 Grendel AR, flat shooting, more than enough power to take North American large game(yes it works on moose, my nephew uses it in AK and I used it last time I was up there.) On the bigger animals you have to wait for a good angle on the shot so broadside is best, on whitetails any good kill shot hit works...

    There are at least 5 cases/case families and likely every bullet dia from 17-50 .
    So 17-35 for 223 , 17-364 in the 30 Rem/6.8 Rem , the same for ×39 , 22-44 for a shortened rebated 300 Savage , 22-50 for a further rebated and shortened 284 Win .
    Plus the RF and blow back etc rimless pistol cartridges .

    Olympic and a couple others make a 22-250 AR15. I have one of those bolts/extensions in my 44x1.8" AR15 which with a 16" barrel matches what my 444 Marlin does with a 22" barrel at least for 225gr-265gr bullets.

    In an AR10 frame you take the 6.5x55 add $10 a box and call it 6.5 Creedmore
