Another AR caliber
Nosler Inc. announced the release of the 22 Nosler, a new cartridge designed to transform any standard AR-15 into the fastest, most powerful .22 caliber available for the platform, with the least amount of modification. The new addition to Noslers cartridge family delivers 30 percent more energy and is nearly 300 fps faster than a 223 Remington/5.56 NATO round.
People keep trying out new calibers and people still buy a lot of 5.56.

Not saying this is part of the perpetual attempt at the sow’s ear/silk purse thing, but it would have been more useful to aquaint Mr. Stoner with it 60+ years ago.
Which, if I recall, was about the time 7.62X51 became A Thing….

People like 5.56 because it is relatively affordable and adequate for the intended purpose. This new round may be superior for some applications but very few people will be able to afford to shoot it much. I have hopes for the 6.5 Grendel now that Wolf is producing ammo for it.

Hmmmmm I read and read and I am not impressed really. One guy says 22-250 velocities! Thanks actually funny to hear! Nope!! I don’t see anything close in this cartridge. How about something on a AR-10 lower that shoots a 22-250? Now that would be great.
