Armalite is making an upper reciever for their AR10.
How does this cartridge compare with the 30-06 and the 300 Win mag?

Well I been hunting with a 300 WSM for the last two years. A 180 gr .30 cal bullet going 3,000 fps. Just like a 300 H+H. Will to the same thing with a well placed 180 gr bullet as it would with a .30-06 ,300 Winchester and what have you. I sort of like it. When I bought mine, it was the First .30 Cal rifle I had bought since 1978. I was more of a 270/7mm guy back then then later on I started shooting a 338 Win for most of my hunting with a 6.5 x 55 for the White Tails when I lived in Connecticut. I didn't know you can get an AR-10 in one, I don't know why one would but I guess it would have its uses. I would like to know how they shoot. Might make a good rain gun.

Thank you for your input.
What I'm thinking with the 30 WSM is this would make a good way out yonder cartridge in the AR10. I could the same lower with the 308 Win for 100 to 500 meters, just change to upper to 30 WSM for 500 to 1,000 meters. I'd effectly have a switch barrel gun.

Hey arkypete. I know nothing about the AR10, so, excuse my ignorance in advance, but, will its bolt handle the 300 WSM's (I'm guessing you're talking about the 300, right?) larger case head?

The AR10 is the big brother to the M-16/Ar15 rifles except it's built to fit the 7.62/308 round.
Armalite is building the upper reciever, machining the bolt and making 5 round mags for it.
