I didn't include any rimfires.
If you want to include your custom 10x39mm rimfire chambering, add a comment to that effect.

EBR chamberings

I really like the old faithful 5.56 for versatility and availability. It's really hard to argue with the ability to buy cheap military surplus ammo by the case load and squirrel it away in volume, at least in my mind. But if you've already got at least one AR in the standard chambering, this may not matter so much.
300 Blackout is ballistically excellent, but I feel like it's still a very new cartridge - too new to judge long term viability. If you want to reload it, however, that may be a very attractive option given less reliance on commercial offerings.
I've shot the Grendel a couple times in a friend's rifle, and liked it, but don't really have enough experience with it to judge outside of that one firearm. And no experience at all with the other options listed, so I can't pick any of them in good conscience.

I was just looking at chamberings I might buy, or which people I'd spoken to really liked.
5.56 NATO is obvious.
300 AAC Blackout is popular with people who want a bigger bullet but like the idea of suppressing.
I keep hearing about how quiet but accurate 9mm in an AR-15 is, and the ammunition is very cheap.
6.5mm Grendel is pretty popular for people who wanted a bigger bang and make bigger holes. Usually in my experience the same people call 5.56 a varmint round.
7.62x39mm is also cheap, and popular as an intermediate cartridge.
The last two are for the crazy thumper adherents, I'm not sure why I'd get one but they seem popular.

I'd like to see a 30 round magazine for the .45-70! :shock: In EBR format. The Gatling had hoppers the assistant gunners topped off as the gunner cranked the handle.Becks said:
