This poor girl is thinking about an identity change - for a long time she thought he was 5.56 - mind you she's got some good bones - anybody got any good ideas about what she might really be under all that facade

6.5 Grendel or 6.8. If you want to get really wildcatty then the world is your oyster.

At first I thought this was a caliber decision... but now I'm wondering.

First off your going to have to break the news to her that she's not a water heater.

According to libtards she can be whatever she feels like regardless of physical attributes. As long as she feels like she's a 300 win mag then she is regardless of her barrel says.

Pick up a second upper in 6.5 Grendel (stated above), low recoil and will reach out much further, accurately, than the 5.56.

Unlikely she thinks she's a water heater, but, can you imagine what their kids will look like?

6.5 and 6.8 are better in my opinion because both can kill hogs better than 556, but, what is the intended porpus of the boom stick? remember 556 ammo is cheap and available everywhere, if you don't need to shoot further or carry more energy, just fancy her up

Availability is no contest. However, it's counterintuitive but some 6.5 Grendel ammo is cheaper. Specifically, steel cased fmj is cheaper in 6.5grendel than even 556.

One of many examples

Yeah, but keep the 5.56 upper for cheap steel cased plinking FMJ crap.
When you go 6.5 or 6.8, get a good barrel and then save it for hunting.
Pop two pins, change uppers and mags and you basically have TWO guns.

But we know you will get another lower eventually!

not true 5.56 to NATO specs, but this is much cheaper than any Grendel on the market.

so, unless we are to split hairs (again) over 556/223 556 is the king of cheap ammo
