Ok you semi-auto experts, is anyone making AR-15's (NOT AR-10's!) in the Benchrest calibers (6mm BR/7mm BR/.30 BR)? I checked the 6mmAR website and they are not listing uppers with the .473" bolt face.
6mm BR/7mm BR/.30 BR --> AR-15?

AR Performance has 6mm BR barrels in the pipeline right now. Not sure on the ETA.
EDIT: their web site says Aug.

The BR cases use a standard 308 bolt face. They use a cartridge shape not friendly for repeating bolt actions much less semi-autos. So, even if you could get what you ask for, there would be a lot of question marks behind the product from a safety and reliability perspective. I'd stick with cartridges that have already been tried and tested in the heat of competition. 6mmAR.com is a great place to start.
