advantage of 300 over .556

[crofoot629]

I get by with:
22 RF
5.56
30-06 (308 for you?)
45-70

No need to reinvent the wheel unless you've got money to burn. IMHO

The OP wants a long-range AR. He didn't mention money being an object. Not bashing the 300BLK, but it is not a long-range cartridge, and never was intended to be. Of the calibers listed .308 is my pick hands down. That being said, I am currently using a .260 Rem (6.5mm) for long-range and it is sweeeeet!

Was at a local gun show this weekend and handled a LMT in a 308. Good golly, major drool factor. It was beautiful. At over 3k though for a price. Ouch!!! I do want one now though. Uuuggg it never ends.

sounds like the .556 can do more then I have tried and I need to play more and see what it can do. Thanks for all the advice
