The thing is you have to see if that much bore and grain is your best choice. Probably not as the bullets slow down considerably and trajctories are less than ideal.
Probably ok for the thick northern woods but not as bersatile as other popular choices.
The reason for the 35 gunner was to get big bore pwrformance with better trajectories. The 35 gunner gets similar power to the hottest Beo
Or Socom loads but within 50 yards already leaves them behind and within 300 yards is the hardest hitting ar15 round. In fact has superior hunting and killing power than a 308 from a 16" or shorter but in a smaller AR15 pprtfolio.
For the AR hubting I would consoder thr 6.8 or 308 in ar10 or then the mighty 358 winchester in the ar10 16" carbine that is a meat factory and a much better bore balliatically than anything above 375.
