Basically a 357 bullet on a 10mm Magnum case (or 6.8 I think).

No issues with the receivers on either my AR’s or my Steyr Scout – although admittedly, I don’t have too many rounds through my Scout.

jjamna,

As has already been mentioned, there are several other rounds which will work with an AR-15 lower.
Probably the best are the two you have already mentioned – the 6.8 Rem SPC and the 6.5...

OneShotNeeded,

I think Olympic Arms made once made such a thing, but I don’t see it on their website anymore.

There are several smiths who could probably make a 22 mag dedicated upper - Derrick...

Is there an advantage to not having a lube groove?

When I bought my Dan Wesson .41 magnum a few years ago, it was put together in their custom shop. Although it was more expensive than their production revolvers, it cost about half what a Freedom...

Another happy Dillon 550 user here.
My dies are mostly Redding, but I have some RCBS and one set of Dillon dies.
No issues using other than Dillon brand dies.

This thread is a good example of why I love this board.
I own a Glock 21 that I have been fearful of shooting lead out of until now.
