I have been looking at upgrades in caliber for the AR. There are obvious choices in 6.5 Grendel, 6.8SPC, 6mmAR, 458SOCOM, and 450 Bushmaster. Are there any upgrades that use the base 5.56 case or is it a moot point? Reason I am looking is I have a bunch of 5.56 P-Mags and any 6mm based upgrade requires new mags.
I figure that with the allowable powder volume in a 5.56 case, bumping up to a larger bullet would make the larger bullet not quite fast enough. Not quite sure, but I think I am headed in teh right direction with my thinking
