I have been looking at this caliber for sometime because of the ballistics and knock down power out to 1000 yds, but have held off because of the cost and availability of ammo.
I live on a dairy farm and we have a serious coyote problem. The first AR I built in 5.56 is accurate enough but the ballistics over 500 yds leaves something to be desired. I look forward to building this new rifle over the next few months and then bagging some more pests.

Welcome!!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
sounds like a plan. welcome

Hey, Joverman, welcome! I am jealous of only two things in this life (well, maybe more, but these two at the moment
): Guys down in Texas who get to shoot hogs on a regular basis and guys who get to shoot coyotes. Have fun!

Thanks Rick I might take you up on that offer. I have a brother that lives in Raleigh so i might make the trip up there one weekend and try to meet you. I will look into the Templar Consulting part but tright now I have already got the blessing from my wife to start another gun build soI would hate to "disappoint" her by not building it.
welcome theres a lot of info and ppl to help you here let us know if theres any we can do for you
Yeah, if you have spousal permission, it would be a crime to waste that opportunity! The last gun I got was an impulse buy, a beautiful 1914 model 96 6.5mm Swedish Mauser.
After all I had all those 6.5 bullets for reloading already! It sat in my trunk for about a month before I sneaked it in, LOL.
Just PM me on here if you want to get together sometime.
