Alternate State

Doing an irregular comparison of the not-5.56 ammo for an AR.

Using Midway as my mule.

6.5 Grendel has seven loadings from three manufacturers.

6.8 SPC is the winner in variety.  32 loadings from seven manufacturers.

.300 AAC Blackout takes second with 23 loadings from nine manufacturers.

.300 Whisper is clinging in there with six loadings from three makers.

.30 Remington AR is dead round walking with just four loads cataloged and all from Remington itself.

I notice that the proprietary rounds have the least number of loadings and fewest companies making them, even with Alexander Arms opening up the specs for 6.5.

Much of this is academic since not a single load in any of these calibers is actually in stock.
