[QUOTE="Cossi, post: 2107414, member: 1030"] So I cam across this Spikes lower in a trade. It is complete, ready to go. Here is my problem. What freaking caliber do I build it in? I have a .223, So was thinking about something different. From my understanding, these calibers don't require anything much but an upper, some require mags, I know. .300 Blackout - Whats the point really? I have other .30cal guns .223/5.56 - always a winner ammo is somewhat plentiful when people aren't freaking out, and somewhat inexpensive. These two will definitely require me to get into reloading, as will the 300. .458 SOCOM - Just the bad assery of such gun .50 Beowulf - See above Also the above two would not get shot that ridiculously often. I know there are others, but I am just not sure what I really want to build yet. The simplicity of the .223 is tempting, not to mention the availability of parts. I also know about the 6.5 grendel, and 6.8spc, but again the ammo availability it something to be concerned about. I am fully aware of the current unavailability of most all ammo. I am not in a hurry to build this, but just doing my research right now. Any opinions? [/QUOTE]
