MISportsman,
well, there are now a lot of ctg that will run out of an AR upper.
the 6.5 Grendel is the most balanced to my way of thinking, that's why i have a couple of course.
but, there are a lot of good choices out there. some new, some old.
maybe do something like LRRPF52 did and just make a list of what you'd like to do with another caliber. then go from there.
cheap centerfire plinking and not reloading? well the 7.62x39 is still pretty cheap as it goes, even today, though everything is way up of course.
need more up close thump but don't want to limit range severely? that new 350 Legend looks intriguing.
with the 3 you've already picked up, i think perhaps the next 2 for either cheap utility or new and interesting might be the 7.62x39 or the 350 Legend.
if you're of a wildcatting kind of interest you could wildcat the 7.62x39 case size up and down and all over. Do you want suppressed sub sonic? consider the soviet 9x39 they wildcatted just for that purpose. you could make it 0.358" bore easily to ease heavy bullet availability. or a 7mmx39 if you like that idea. i have a friend who did a 8x39 wildcat. 22PPC? 6mm PPC? i suppose someone has tried a 375x39 too already.
lots of folks here more than willing to help you spend your money LOL. what ever you pick, have fun.
