If you want an AR-15, you could consider the 6x45. Just a different barrel and everything else the same as .223. You will lose some velocity on the .243, but still plenty for Whitetails, prairie rats, coyotes.

Thats a hell of an idea. Didn't even know that existed. I'm off to search the google machine for components n stuff.

Some call it 6mm-.223, so search both.

The BHW barrels are a 2-3 month wait, but they shoot really well, I think they are about $250. I don't know if Hoser is set up to make brass for the 6x45, but it is not hard to convert .223 to 6x45 with just a set of loading dies and a trimmer. Most guys like the 1:10 for the 90 and less and the 1:9 for the 100s. I'd be willing to bet there is a thread on the caliber somewhere here on COAR15 as well. Dandy little cartridge.
